<br />Describe how you will monitor program activity and manage for performance. <br /> <br />Project RYTMO has incorporated the following methods for monitoring program <br />activity and performance: <br />· Attendance Sign In/Out Sheets: help monitor retention rate and overall interest <br />of subject matter for each class. <br />· Case management: is essential to the program's success and managing of <br />performance goals for each participant in the program. From initial enrollment, <br />participants are evaluated and assigned specific goals to reach for any given class <br />period. <br />· One to one adult mentoring (12-months): Students are matched with an <br />appropriate mentor who will assist the case manager with monitoring goals and <br />activities related to the program. They will maintain weekly meetings and <br />provide weekly written evaluation of the progress/performance of each mentee. <br />· Adult Volunteers: provide additional support and assistance to participants. <br />These may be in the form of adult volunteers who serve as tutors for basic skills <br />deficient students, to monitor program activity or as peer volunteers/leaders <br />who develop valuable relationships with youth participants. <br /> <br />Describe how applicant plans to deliver academic assistance to raise the skill <br />level of youth who are basic skills deficient. <br /> <br />As mentioned earlier, Project RYTMO has incorporated a new service to youth for <br />2007-2008. <br />· One-on-one tutoring services to youth who are basic skills deficient, will allow <br />participants to receive academic assistance I-hour prior to each scheduled class <br />per week. Since the purpose of Project RYTMO is to incorporate music and <br />arts in all areas of academic development, our curriculum will include numeric <br />assistance through instruction of music theory, and literacy skills by <br />incorporating certain reading/writing assignments based on musical literature. <br />One example might be reading 18th century composer Beethoven's journal about <br />his outlook on music, life and his physical disability (he was deaf), and asking <br />students to write a paragraph about how his remarks relate to their own life or <br />current conditions. <br /> <br />· Support through Youth Council Agencies: will enhance such services like T ABE <br />post-test preparation, after school tutoring, college entry exams, work <br />placement, and other educational services that are not provided by our program. <br />
