"The implemented program has provided the kids with opportunities to learn or to get new learning tools. Once they pick up a new learning tool they seem to accelerate in the content especially in math and reading."

"I'm seeing students doing a better job of performing at ease. They seem not to have a panic attack when there's an Algebra test coming up. They seem more comfortable with asking questions and answering questions. I just see a lot of confidence, a lot of self-esteem."

"Without question, I have several students were the difference has been just dramatic. It seems like overnight although it hasn't been. It's been a long process and for them; I know it's been difficult. They are definitely letter grade or more improvements in these students' achievement."

"The more you talk with students, they're like "oh yeah, I can do that better" or "I used to fall asleep when I read and now I can't use that to go to bed at night." [Students] talk about remembering more things when getting ready for tests, talk about being able to pull words out instead of having to read the whole paragraph over again, words just jump out at them."
