Making
a Positive Difference in the Life of a Lawrence
Student |
| |
| The
MCAS Challenge |
|
Every student in Massachusetts
must pass a standardized test called the
MCAS exam to graduate from high school.
This creates a special challenge for Lawrence
students, as 85% of them speak English
as a second language and come from low-income
families that don’t have the resources
to provide needed help. |
|
Your company can partner
with a Lawrence Public School and help
Lawrence students develop skills needed
to meet the MCAS Challenge. |
|
|
|
| Here’s
how it works….. |
• |
Your
company partners up with one of 13 Lawrence Public
Schools |
• |
We
match volunteer employees in your company with
students from your partner school on a one-to-one
basis, based upon common interests. |
| • |
Students are transported
once a week to your facility where the mentoring
takes place. |
| • |
The matches meet
for an hour a week using tools provided by Stand
and Deliver to work on MCAS math and language
arts skills |
• |
Stand
and Deliver provides training to volunteer mentors
and monitor each match to insure the match meets
the needs of both the mentor and the student.
