prsoJue-V <br />n G, Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) <br />Santa Ana Workforce Development Board: Youth Service Provider <br />8. Tutoring (1 page max) <br />I. Describe in detail the tutoring resources that will be provided to youth through your <br />program or in partnership with local resources. <br />The proposed program will utilize the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) with all <br />participants to assess their literacy and numeracy skills pre and post enrollment. Youth who <br />score 8.9 or below will be considered "basic skills deficient' and eligible for enrollment. <br />All participants will have a Tutoring Plan informed by their performance on the Pre - <br />Assessment TABE taken prior to enrollment. Throughout the program, participants will receive <br />focused tutoring to improve the literacy and numeracy skills. Areas where they exhibited the <br />greatest deficiency will serve as the highest priority for tutoring activities. <br />Volunteers from the University of California, Irvine come to the Project Kinship Office <br />three times a week to provide tutoring with participants. During tutoring times, volunteers <br />support participants with: one-on-one homework assistance; focused practice in TABE test <br />areas of difficulty; computer lab tutorials; completing online documents such as job <br />applications, resumes, and career -focused research; group collaboration with peers on <br />homework or projects; and low -risk social activities to practice conversation and <br />comprehension for English as a Second Language Learners. <br />Project Kinship provides a designated space and time for tutoring and homework <br />assistance for participants, something often not available to them at home. The program also <br />offers drop in tutoring hours for those who are currently working, in school, parenting, or have <br />other time commitment restraints. These flexible options, as well as the opportunity to take <br />practice TABE test throughout the Quarter, allow participants to build their test taking <br />confidence and basic literacy and numeracy skills. Each intervention will led to measurable <br />gains when participants complete the official Post -Assessment (TABE retest) each Quarter. <br />
