At Kingman, We Celebrate Learning and Achievement Daily
Kingman offers a multi-faceted program approach to meeting the individual education needs of children and their families including:
Remedial Math: Special Learning Needs: One on One Volunteer Tutoring: Higher Achievement Program (HAP): and Early Childhood Education.
The alignment of our curriculum with the Educational standards of the DC Public Schools means that the children receive supplementary material that complements their school assignments. The numbers in each class are small, generally aligned according to grade level.
TECHNOLOGY
In our expanding computer laboratory, we use on-line software called Skillstutor that helps identify each child*s strengths and weakness in Math and Language. The program is a supplementary teaching tool that resembles the approach of their favorite video games. They have instantaneous feedback seeing test results showing how well they are learning the rules and procedures of the subject being taught. It assists their teachers and tutors to direct their teaching to reinforce subjects that need more attention.
Additional classes taught by specialist teachers are for those who require more stimulation and challenge. These target students who have a high level of achievement and others who need more remedial work to bolster below average performance.
The Tutoring program supplements the remedial work. Volunteers recruited from the community come 2 evenings a week from 6 PM to 7:30 to work with children whose performance indicates they need additional help.
