Target Populations Project SUCCESS is offered free to 1st - 6th grade elementary students who attend the 9 schools included in our ASES grant. Project SUCCESS offers homework support of rigorous academics, as well as engaging recreational and enrichment programs designed to provide support for at-risk youth. Students who are academically under-performing based on testing data are offered priority; however, all students who need daily after-school care are encouraged to participate in the program. Teachers, counselors, parents, and administrators are encouraged to recommend students to Project SUCCESS throughout the year.

Program Plan I. Program Goals and Requirements

The District assesses the needs of the community through various methods, which include state and local assessment data (CST, API scores, AYP, District Benchmark assessments, and the Consolidated Application for Free/Reduced-Lunch data). Information is also gathered from several sources to provide on-going program improvement, including:

Survey results from parents/guardians, students, principals, teachers, and afterschool staff

Regular collaborative meetings with community partners, community liaisons, and site principals

Program TOSA and administrator observations Based on the data provided by sources mentioned above, the following are the goals for the after-school program to address:

Provide a safe environment for students after-school that encourages them to make healthy choices

Provide enrichment opportunities that widen students scope of experiences Increase students proficiency in Language Arts and Math Increase proficiency in English for English language learners Provide homework support for students Ensure continuing program effectiveness and improve quality through

periodic evaluations and regular discussions with stakeholders regarding program design

Enrollment in PROJECT SUCCESS is on a first-come first-serve basis, with priority given to students who are under-performing academically. Demand for after-school program services is extremely high in a majority of our schools. Most sites maintain waiting lists for the entire year. Some steps taken to inform parents and recruit students are:

Informational presentations at PTA/ELAC meetings Information tables during Back-to-School Nights, Open House Registration drive every Spring Automated call-outs are employed on a site-by-site basis to inform

parents of upcoming events and registration for PROJECT SUCCESS. The Districts community facilitators are also instrumental in providing

parents with current information on the program, and in providing assistance for parents who would like their students enrolled in Project SUCCESS.

Daytime teachers are encouraged to refer students during parent conferences, Student Study Teams, and academic meetings between teachers and administrators when data is reviewed and recommendations for support are made.

Brochures and applications are also readily available at the schools and district office.

The most effective way to retain students is to provide quality after-school care that meets their needs in a safe, nurturing environment. To this end, PROJECT SUCCESS leaders work tirelessly to offer engaging activities, valuable enrichment, and opportunities to involve students and parents in their schools and communities. The TOSA and administrators outreach to community and statewide partners to provide students with recreation, drama, music, fine arts, and science classes, as well as offering professional development for the after-school instructional aides on creating ideal learning environments. Another means of retaining students is in clearly communicating program expectations on a regular basis to both parents and students. A Parent/Student Contract and Agreements is given to parents at the beginning of recruitment for the upcoming year. This includes an explanation of the attendance guidelines, early release and late arrival policies in the form of a contract that parents and students are required to initial, sign and return. An emergency card is completed at the beginning of the program period which denotes all authorized persons who are able to pick up their children. A Homework FAQ is also distributed at the beginning of the program that clarifies the homework policy. The contract and emergency card must be completed in full, signed, and returned as the student begins the program. All written correspondence is translated, and bilingual staffers are present at school and district informational meetings regarding the after-school program (i.e. registration drives, PTA meetings, information booths, etc.). 9 of the 9 schools participating in Project SUCCESS are designated Program Improvement as of 2013. All of the schools have significant populations of socio-economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners. After-school students are also designated in Aeries, the district-wide student database system, where further information can be obtained regarding students attendance and truancy rates. Varied sources of information can provide a detailed picture of a subgroups progress towards academic proficiency and lead to possible strategies designed to boost their academic performance.

II. Program Content/Quality There are four basic components to the Project SUCCESS program:

Academic support Arts & Enrichment Recreation Nutrition

Academic Support: PROJECT SUCCESS leaders work closely with school administrators and daytime teachers to support the schools curriculum, instruction, and learning goals with those of the after-school program. Each site uses a variety of Language Arts enrichment resources, including Lexia, Accelerated Reader and intervention materials provided by KidzLit. These materials align with the language arts program during the regular day, and reinforce the lessons being taught by the daytime teachers. Daily use of SWUN Math Beyond the Basic Facts supports and reinforces the daytime instruction of mathematics within the SWUN Math program which is a district adoption. Online lesson support is available as well as grade level manuals that IAs can access. Computer labs at each site are accessed by students daily for skill building in Typing Club, a district wide initiative that builds keyboarding skills, a necessity in Common Core Assessments. At most sites, daytime teachers provide homework packets for after-school staff to utilize when helping students with their homework. The Lead Instructional Aides consult district T. A.s and guides to support curriculum and training for staff. The Director and TOSA also meet regularly and work closely with the principals at each site to maintain communications and ensure seamless transitions between regular day and after-school activities. In addition to everyday verbal communication, there is email used by after-school staff, office administrators, and daytime teachers to communicate with each other. The after school staff and the daytime staff frequently exchange emails regarding concerns/progress of the students.

Arts & Enrichment:

PROJECT SUCCESS collaboration with school, and community organizations have led to an wealth of quality opportunities and creation of an enriching and engaging afterschool environment.

Academic Chess offers chess workshops for students grades 1-3.

South Coast Repertorys Neighborhood Conservatory instructors teach drama classes to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at several school sites.

juSTEAMagine sessions provide a grade-level appropriate exploration into topics and projects based in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math)

OC Fine Arts work with students in directed art instruction focusing this year on creating cartoon-like figures from basic shapes incorporating instruction in perspective, shading and coloring.

ExplorOcean brings engaging hands-on opportunities to increase students knowledge in ocean literacy and innovation. Hands on labs provide experiences and resources to design, build, create and test their own creations.

SCRATCH code writing instruction is provided for students using the PROJECT SUCCESS 20 chrome books. Students write their own code and create their own presentations.

Master Mindz lets students experience adventure-based, multi-sensory challenges and activities that teach communication, problem solving as individuals and as part of a group, goal setting, planning and execution while reinforcing metacognitive skills through group debriefing at the end of each session.

Girls, Inc. meets with girls in grades 1-3 at four sites twice a week for the entire year offering a rich and varied curriculum that includes literacy lessons and activities centered on self-esteem & leadership, mentoring, self-defense, economic literacy, and media literacy. They also provide one-on-one tutoring with for some students in addition to their time in the group. National League of Young Men prepare and distribute 300 fully stocked pencil boxes to students at a variety of sites. They are delivered with a special visit that includes a snack and activities they do with students. UCI Education 180 students have volunteered over 480 hours of volunteer assistance with classes, working as an extra set of hands supporting our students in the afterschool classroom. At some site, school based music programs have also bolstered students appreciation for the arts; there are after-school Band programs taught by certificated teachers currently running in several Project SUCCESS schools.

Certificated teachers have trained instructional aides to utilize the technology labs with specific instruction in specific programs like Lexia and Typing Club so students can access much of the same computer activities and websites available in their daytime classes.

A partnership between Project SUCCESS, the OC STEM Initiative was initiated in 2013-2014 with the goal of bringing training and STEM based learning projects to each site for the 2014-2015 school year. The curriculum also emphasizes hands-on, real-world, problem based learning in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Students are also encouraged to participate in science clubs after school when they enter junior high and high school, with the goal of choosing majors in science-related fields once they enter higher education.

In the past we have also accessed The Environmental Nature Center docents that visit the sites and bring hands on lessons to the students. Visits to the ENC provide students with an outdoor classroom to further their inquiry. Rogers Gardens had provided supplies for on-site projects.

Recreation Students receive a session each day of physical education activities and skills for which IAs have been trained in by district P.E. coaches. Training included a variety of recreational choices and the use of related resources. In the past PROJECT SUCCESS has partnered with After-School Hoops, The Orange County Marathon Foundation and worked together for the Foundations Kids Run the O.C. program. PROJECT SUCCESS has partnered with several agencies to provide recreational activities.

Nutrition Project SUCCESS has worked closely with Nutrition Services to plan an appetizing and well received daily snack menu for students. Different groups of students were able to taste test and vote on their favorites that fell within the state nutritional guidelines. The operations manager for the district Nutrition Services has also provide Master Chef classes at each site and brought an extra fun cooking lesson with a nutritional snack for students providing them with all the supplies needed.
