Title 2D After School Program

Region 5 is proud of the successful implementation of its Title II D after school program. This program gave targeted schools additional time (2 to 3 days per week) to focus on helping Level 1 and Level 2 students creating project based work that addresses specific ELA/Math Standards and Performance Indicators that were identified as areas of weakness for these children.

This program provided students specialized attention as the average class size did not exceed 12 students. Additionally, each of the 47 schools running this program had a school based supervisor overseeing the implementation of this program. This environment in turn supported teachers actively integrating of technology into the ELA/Math curriculum and the culmination of student created WebQuests, ThinkQuests and iMovies. As a result of the after school program, 12 out of the top 24 slots in New York City ThinkQuest competition were awarded to projects created in our Title II D Schools.
