Spotlight On Math Lab As a ninth grader, having a solid grasp of basic math is critical, yet many students struggle. SPEF has been partnering with Stamford Public Schools since 2016 to provide students with trained tutors for a full period each day, to improve foundational math skills and opportunities for success in Algebra 1. Tutors also provide individualized mentoring in executive function skills such as planning, goal setting, and task initiation. For the first semester of Math Lab, SPEF tutored 131 students, 66 from Stamford High School and, for the first time, 65 from Westhill High School. Our mid-year program assessment shows math skills are sharpening, with our students gaining confidence in their abilities. |
