Best Brainy Bunch

 

 

The Best Brainy Bunch is a unique program that offers customized and perspective approach to learning. Struggling in school or excel in school…  we have individualized tutoring strategy to take the students to the next level, to build and maintain a high level of self confidence to succeed in life.

The Best Brainy Bunch offers educational program in three major areas: reading, writing and math skills. We believe that the students should have mastery and confidence in reading and math to excel in other areas of learning. Therefore our primary focus is on enriching the skills on reading and math at or above grade level depending on the student’s capability.

Individualized strategy and customized focus is our motto. With that said, the student to teacher ratio will never exceed four to one. The changes may be made to the individualized plan as needed since students are monitored periodically.

The students progress will be communicated to the parents at the end of each session. It is crucial to establish a working relationship with the class room teachers. With this in mind, we also offer the services of participating in parent-teachers conference at school so that a one-on-one communication with the teacher will be established to get to know more about the students progress at school.

High School Math Tutoring at Best Brainy Bunch

 

We are pleased to inform you that Best Brainy Bunch has embarked in a new mission of the tutoring program for high school students in Math. The high school math curriculum in Wake Country is increasingly becoming more challenging and competitive due to an increased level of standards and expectations in college admissions in the Triangle area. To augment such healthy competitiveness, to motivate and engage high school students to have a better understanding of plausible expectations, Best Brainy Bunch is starting an exclusive math program for high school students and some highlights about the program are given below.

  • We are expanding and leasing an additional area of 1000 sq.ft
  • The program will use specific group model (eg. Pre-Calculus & Calculus, AP-Calculus, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry and Trigonometry etc.,) and includes a structured, yet flexible, format for tutoring sessions.
  • A flexible format allows tutors to use strategies that are tailored to address each student’s learning style, skills, and needs. The flexibility ensures that each student will receive individualized and developmentally appropriate support.
  • Using a consistent structure helps both students and tutors to stay organized and focused on meeting individual goals. Students feel a sense of competence from being able to predict what comes next in each tutoring session.
  • Qualified tutors are a critical element in the success of any tutoring program. Best Brainy Bunch will hire qualified tutors through a stringent process of recruitment. Together, we will ensure that the tutors have the knowledge and skills needed to carry out their roles effectively.
  • The length of each tutoring session will be 2 hours, mostly on Fridays and weekends. However one of the week days is a possibility depending on the number of students enrolled in the program. The schedule will be published shortly.
  • Course fee is $200 a month.

We tutor the following High School Math Subjects:

Below are outlines to estimate progression through math education; these are not requirements, nor are they rigidly constrained boundaries. It may vastly vary depending on students’ math course choices each year.

Video Support to Develop Reading Skills

 

In order to succeed in the classroom and in life, our children must develop strong reading skills at an early age. It’s a process that happens at home as well as school. Parental involvement in encouraging a love of reading and good reading habits is essential!

These short videos to give parents some tips about how best to support their children as they develop into strong readers. Each of the eleven videos is one to three minutes long, featuring research-driven, easy-to-understand advice, such as:

  • Expose a child to adult, articulate conversation to build a strong foundation for reading skills.
  • Engage a child’s curiosity about a book even before the cover is opened.
  • A child is never “too old” to be read to, even if he or she is an independent reader.

WCPSS Accountability Program for Students Excellence

 

The ABCs of Public Education is North Carolina’s accountability program which measures student achievement by a formula that measures student progress from one year to the next.

At the elementary level, the formula takes into account scores on reading, science, and mathematics. At the middle school level, the 8th grade Computer Skills Test results are also included.

At the high school level, the ABCs results are based on the performance of students in 10 core End-Of-Course tests Algebra I; Algebra II; English I; Biology; Chemistry; Geometry; Physical Science; Physics; Economic, Legal, and Political Systems; and US History. The high school model also includes measures of the dropout rate and the percentage of students who graduate in the college prep track.

You can see more on this program and results for previous years here.

Communication Powers Relationship between Teachers and Parents

 

Communication is a critical part of the partnership between the classroom and home. Schools, teachers and parents are finding many different ways to keep each other informed. Teachers and parents need information to feel involved in their child’s academic life. At the elementary school level, teachers have a number of tools they use to keep parents informed. They meet with parents. They exchange e-mail. They talk on the phone. They compile a week’s worth of work and notes into weekly folders. They post information on websites. They write newsletters. Each educator creates a system to share information with their parents.

“To me, the most important one is face-to-face with the teacher,” said a parent. “I know that is difficult, but that is my absolute favorite way to get a good feel for how my child is doing in class.” Another parent says she relies on graded class work to track her child’s academic progress. And when the teacher sends home work that requires a signature, it helps her to feel very involved.

When the parents get that report card it should not be a surprise. “It should be pretty close to what I’ve been seeing in the class work coming home and the tests coming home. There have been occasions when I have been surprised, and it has prompted an immediate face-to-face conversation with the teacher.” a parent said. “I think probably the one expectation I have is that we will be able to have an honest exchange,” said a concerned parent. “There is a trust factor. When the parent is able to trust the teacher and trust you to do the best for their child, you are able to open up and share some things that may be touchy or may be a concern that you have not shared before.”

Teachers share information with parents in Friday Folders and has a Blackboard website with homework assignments and announcements. The report cards should be a summation of information that parents should already know through previous communications. The school faculty and staff work hard to create learning opportunities for students and it’s important for families to be aware of what’s available. The more parents know about what’s going on at school, the more opportunities they will have for being involved in school. It’s important that schools be proactive in creating opportunities for parents to be involved and for giving them the information that they need so that they can access some of the things that are going on at school and know what’s going on with their kids.

Parents can effectively get involved with their child’s school, monitor the progress and establish a good communication with the teachers by following the simple steps given below.

  • Get to know your child first – in terms of strength and weakness cause each child is different
  • Set reasonable goals and expectations for your child
  • Get to know your child’s teacher
  • Do not ignore the communications from teachers and school
  • See your child’s school folder every day
  • Monitor the progress of your child
  • Evaluate periodically your child’s development/improvement
  • Match your expectation with the child’s progress periodically
  • If there is a negative suprise in the expectation, you are not doing your job right. Review and align your expectations.
  • Do not hesitate to get additional help if needed for your child
  • Do not compare your child with another
  • Do not expect improvement over night since improvement/development is gradual and incremental
  • Be patient and do your job of ‘Getting Involved’

Healthier Choices in School Cafeteria

 

Students are being offered healthier options in the Wake County Public School System Child Nutrition Services cafeterias.

The produce is harvested over the weekend and delivered on Monday mornings to schools. Each item is at its peak of ripeness. NC produce provided through the NC Farm to School program includes melons, many varieties of apples, strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes, cabbage and more. On Monday, WCPSS will receive a delivery of NC cantaloupe and watermelons that will be distributed to schools.

WCPSS vending machines, provided by Pepsi Bottling Ventures under an exclusive contract, will offer drinks with fewer calories to high school and middle school students in the 2009-10 school year. The change follows the company’s announcement of compliance with guidelines set forward by the American Beverage Association and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation.
