The Niswonger Foundation's Project On-Track (part of TN ALL Corps) provides high-dosage tutoring opportunities to students in 18 Northeast TN school districts.
Project On-Track team is training Hancock County special education assistants with mCLASS Intervention as the district is supporting very small tutoring groups in literacy using a “push in” model.
Project On-Track is excited to partner with @GovLiteracyTN and @JimMarggraff by piloting 500 Kibeam Wands in 36 high-impact literacy tutoring groups this summer. Hawkins County summer tutors have been trained and are ready to share with their students next week.
What does Project On-Track staff do when 3400 student bags must be assembled with books and math games? They welcome 18 Niswonger Foundation colleagues to assist! NF is truly a team.
