Recognitions and Proclamations Subject A03 Recognition of the New Worlds Scholar Recipients (Academic Services) Meeting Dec 10, 2024 - School Board Recognition Meeting Type Information Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION The Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Reading Achievement Initiative for Scholastic Excellence (RAISE) High School Tutoring Program is a district-based community service opportunity for high school students that have completed their sophomore year. The goal of this program is to train, equip, and support high school students as they tutor kindergarten through third grade elementary students to support literacy acquisition. During the spring of 2024, 50 high school students at 17 area high schools completed over 6 hours of training as literacy tutors. Through an online Canvas course and virtual meetings, they learned about the six components of reading found in Florida’s Formula for Reading Success - oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. They also learned about the elements of explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction. These incredible student volunteers dedicated their summer to delivering tutoring sessions to elementary students during the HCPS Summer Learning Program. Through this experience, they learned to deliver explicit literacy lessons aligned to the science of reading and engaged their elementary buddies in small group and one-on-one literacy sessions. They also utilized the same essential resource as classroom teachers, lessons from the University of Florida Literacy Institute’s (UFLI) Foundations, to provide students with additional practice opportunities that aligned to core classroom instruction. Students at 8 high schools spent 75 hours or more engaged in this work, making them recipients of the New Worlds Scholar award from the Florida Department of Education: New Worlds Scholar Award Recipients - Grade 11 Franchesca Alvarado, Armwood High School Solangeamari Betancourt, Armwood High School Adela Perez-Toquilla, Plant City High School Shaan Patel, Steinbrenner High School New Worlds Scholar Award Recipients - Grade 12 Varrayot Theragul, Alonso High School Kayla Teekaram, East Bay High School Kayleen Jimenez-Mena, East Bay High School Nikola Campos, Riverview High School Jacquelyn Chavez-Martinez, Strawberry Crest High School Abigail Welsh, Wharton High School GAP ANALYSIS : N/A PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: N/A EXPECTED OUTCOMES: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A CONTACT: Tracie Bergman, Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum and Instruction, tracie.bergman@hcps.net, (813) 272-4221 Sarah Garcia, Executive Director, Elementary Education, sarah.garcia@hcps.net, (813) 272-4455 FINANCIAL HISTORIC IMPACT: Financial Historic Impact If Financial Impact is greater than 10% from prior year, explain why. 2024-25 Financial Impact Proposed Cost N/A 2023-24 Financial Impact Former Cost N/A 2022-23 Financial Impact Former Cost N/A 2021-22 Financial Impact Former Cost N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT: Revenue Source: N/A Expense Account: N/A Amount: N/A SUBMITTED BY : ________________________________________________________________________________________ Colleen Faucett, Chief Academic Officer, Academic Services, (813) 272-4221 File Attachments A.
