Success For All is a comprehensive program for schools based on the following principles: Kids working with kids is power if there are structured methods in place in which groups could succeed only if all of their members had mastered the academic material they were studying Emphasis on prevention, early and intensive intervention, and tutoring for students with academic difficulties Incorporation of state-of-the-art curriculum and instructional methods Emphasis on the integration of phonics and teaching reading strategies to obtain meaning from reading text Writing/language arts instruction emphasizing peer editing and cooperative learning Pre-school/kindergarten instruction with story telling and language development A family support program that works with parents, community members, and integrated services. Extensive professional development throughout the whole school. The Success For All Foundation programs are being used in more than 1,800 schools in over 600 districts in 48 states, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Versions of the model are also used in England, Israel, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. The Success For All Foundation is based out of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Components of the program: The year begins with grades K-6 participating in the Getting Along Together Curriculum. This is a problem solving curriculum designed to help the students think critically, to solve problems non violently, and to work in teams effectively. To prepare children to become productive adults means providing excellent academic instruction, as well as reinforcing the social and problem solving skills that are necessary to build successful societies. FAMILY SUPPORT TEAM is an important part of SFA. Good curriculum and good instruction ensure success for most of the students, but some children fail for reasons that go beyond the classroom. Some students fail because of homelessness, because they do not come to school, because they were sitting in the office, or being sent home due to behavior problems. Family Support worried about all these problems. The job of the team is make sure that all resources of the school and community are organized to help so that no child falls through the cracks. There are four main parts of Family Support that the team uses to ensure that every child can meet success: Attendance: Interventions can include Phone calls, letters home, visits, wake up calls, networking with local stores. School Based Help Parent Involvement Looking for solutions outside the school Parent Involvement is a key factor in student success. Parents can be involved in many different ways that all help with school success. Parents can attend Raising Readers nights held 3 times each Fall There are Second Cup of Coffee Mornings on the 3^rd Thursday of each month. Parents and community members are welcome to have coffee and donuts with the students and staff from 8:00-8:45. Parents can be Volunteer Listeners at the school. There are many younger children who would love to have someone else to read to. Parents can help during the Pacific Science Center Van visit each year. Parents are welcome to stop in and visit their child’s class any time. We have Family days each spring in which we honor elders and families.
