The tutor will administer the online reading test and work with the student until the next reading level is achieved. Once the student’s reading level is achieved, the tutor will be awarded $500 per student. This bonus will provide your teachers additional funding opportunities through doing what they love—teaching! The program will be successfully completed once the student’s reading level has improved, overall GPA is increased, and 12 online workshops are finished. Additionally, the school’s administration will be awarded a $250 Microsoft gift certificate for each student who successfully completes the program. This funding can be used to purchase classroom technologies that will enhance all students’ learning experiences.
