The Helping Hands Coalition
Abstract
The Helping Hands Coalition project will be implemented in Richland School District Two in Columbia, SC at 9 elementary, 3 middle, and 2 high schools. This project will impact 1,501 military connected students. The purpose of the project is to use research based strategies to prepare a strong foundation for students with knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for successful future engagements. Goals of the project are clear Goal 1 Military connected 5th graders will improve their math achievement as evidenced by quantitative and or qualitative measures by the end of this grant cycle. Goal 2 Military connected 8th grade students will improve their math achievement as evidenced by qualitative and or quantitative measures by the end of this grant cycle. Goal 3 Military connected 10th grade students will reduce chronic absenteeism as evidenced by qualitative and or quantitative measures by the end of this grant cycle. Project activities include providing in class curriculum instruction support, after school tutoring, attendance supportive services, and increasing organizational capacity. Outcomes include increased student achievement in math, reduced chronic absenteeism, and improved parental and community engagement. This project will identify and implement research based practices to meet the academic needs of the highly mobile military connected students in our community. Resources will be provided that promote student achievement with a focus on math and provide supportive interventions to reduce chronic absenteeism so that transitioning military connected students are afforded the opportunity to increase educational continuity and address core content learning gaps due to relocations.
