- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Step 1: The Dynamic Assessment This may be the most enjoyable test your child has ever taken! In this low pressure session, one of our dedicated staff members will administer the Dynamic Assessment to identify your childs strengths and weaknesses. Our assessments usually take about two hours and assess whether your child is at, below, or above grade level. The results paint a holistic picture of your childs academic and cognitive skills and aptitude. Step 2: Customized Program Recommendation. Well sit down with you and review the results. Based on the results, we recommend a customized learning plan that addresses weak academic skills, nurtures academic strengths, and builds confidence and true understanding in a way that no other tutoring plan can. We also determine the number of coaching hours needed to produce better grades and better motivation. Our program not only addresses core subject areas, but it also integrates GradePower strategies with school. We create a program just for your child; the curriculum is tailored to your childs needs in math, reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and writing. This is how GradePower Learning Mansfield works with you and your child to produce lasting and meaningful change. Step 3: Active Learning Sessions Now that your child is in on the plan, the relationship with his or her academic coach will be off to a great start. Working in small groups under the coachs personal direction, your childs training sessions will be filled with fun, lively discussion and a LOT of celebrating. We celebrate success, but we also celebrate mistakes as opportunities to learn. After only a few sessions, you may begin to notice a change in your childs mood, confidence, self-esteem, and attitude toward school. Step 4: Regular Program Reviews Our regularly scheduled Lesson Plan Reviews will keep you consistently aware of your childs progress on our shared journey to success. Well also let you know of any changes to your childs program. While youre free to call us any time with questions or feedback, the Program Reviews are events you can add to your calendar; sort of our version of a report card.
