EAGLE Summer Educational Enrichment Programming (VSA)
 
 
 
Eagle’s mission is to eradicate the achievement gap in low-income immigrant and refugee students through teaching, engaging and helping students become successful. At Eagle Community Learning Center, students receive one-on-one daily English literacy and Math tutoring after school in order to accelerate the students’ acquisition of the English language and Math skills. Minnesota’s achievement gap ranks among the worst in the nation with the second largest achievement gap for 8th graders in math and fifth largest gap for 8th graders in reading (MN Children’s Action Network, 2011). In addition, most of the immigrant and refugee children entering the school district have no prior formal education and experience significant challenges just in order to perform at the same level as their peers. As the immigrant and refugee community in St. Cloud continues to grow, there are over 10,000 families that want to be engaged in the community and ensure the well-being and success of their children. Education is a vital component for individuals and communities to thrive but the achievement gap needs to be remedied in a way that systematically addresses challenges specific to immigrant and refugee children. Our VISTA Summer Associates (two) will assist in conducting summer educational enrichment programming to provide additional support to immigrant and refugee children in the summer months when they are out of school. The VISTA Summer Associates will provide intensive instruction to students who are struggling through reading and math programming. Through this work, students served will be better supported, demonstrate improved academic performance, and be more prepared to enter the upcoming school year with greater probability for academic success.
