Academic Development

TUTORING

Please remember that the BEST and MOST QUALIFIED person to help your student is his/her teacher! Please contact the teacher directly via email to set up a phone conference or meeting.


  • After-School Tutoring:


  • Khan Academy: One of most useful tools for our students is an online tutoring site called Khan Academy. You will need a parent/guardian to help sign you up and to create an account. Once an account is created, the program will take you through the skills you need to work on. The program will adjust as you master the skills. There are also video lessons to help you. The website is: www.khanacademy.org


  • Private Tutors: Occasionally, we will have community members interested in offering tutoring services. These individuals are not associated with Canfield Locals Schools and are acting as private tutors (generally at a fee for the family). At this time, we do not have any information on local private tutors. Any information we receive in the future will be posted HERE.


  • Your Local Church: Many of the churches in our school district have members (usually retired) who love to work with young people and are looking for something productive to do. You may want to consider contacting your local church office and ask if they have any members interested in tutoring your student.

Academic Development

- Students will acquire the attitudes, knowledge and skills contributing to effective learning in school and for life.- Students will complete school with the academic preparation essential to choose from a wide range of substantial post-secondary options, including college.- Students will understand the relationship of academics to the world of work and to the life at home and in the community.
Delivery System:- Individual counseling: working with students one-on-one to monitor progress, set short-term goals, and plan for high school.- Mediation: collaborating with students, parents, and teachers to initiate communication, and create a team of support.- Referrals: connecting families with outside tutoring and community agencies, and working with the GMS intervention team to develop a plan to assist and support students within the classroom.
