Literacy, Math, and Movement for 4th to 8th Graders

Many of today's youth have grown up with technology in a way like no generation before them. We often assume they will succeed as life-long learners into adulthood because of the access they have to technology. Nevertheless, we cannot assume they will succeed.

Many students are still in learning recovery from the pandemic and were struggling before the year 2020. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 2022, 68% of fourth graders read below proficient levels. Only 1 in 4 (25%) of eighth graders were proficient in mathematics. Our jobs as caring adults is to equip them to succeed - not simply hope or assume.

If your older elementary school- and middle school-aged students could benefit from learning recovery that is infused with social emotional learning backed by science, Ashley's Literacy, Math, and Movement Groups are for your students and families.*

Ashley nurtures a love for learning using a scientific method for learning so that students can unlock the learning outcomes below:

• Self-regulation while doing less-preferred steps of task completion.
• Decelerates reactivity and impulsivity during challenging mental tasks with self-observation (mindfulness).
• Strengthened identities as patient learners.
• Improved reading with phonological awareness.
• Improved mathematical calculating abilities through pattern recognition.
• Strengthened reasoning abilities with pre-algebraic skills.
• Enhanced writing capacities with expanded vocabularies.
• A can-do mindset for STEM subjects that require close reading and recognizing content cues for application.

Sixteen (16) week packages for school-based groups that occur during the school day are valued at $25,000 and offered at the great value of $17,500 to public schools.

Packages include

• Learning outcomes listed above.
• Three (3) hours a week of onsite student-centered support divided into 90-minute groups twice a week.
• Customized curriculum planning that meets your select students where they are socially, emotionally, and academically.**
• Data-driven, neuroscience-supported, tailored instruction for up to 12 students per group (24 students maximum).
• Educator access to Ashley for bridges to learning in the classroom and at school.
• Quality, holistic learning support notes with tried-and-true recommendations for each student to support your CARE team.
• Family access to Ashley for bridges to learning resources and conversations at home.

Results vary according for each student. Teachers and families can expect to see changes in their students' can-do learning approach within two weeks. With focused attention, students can recognize patterns that support higher level thinking within minutes.

This group is not for students who:

• Value extracurricular activities, peer relationships, and school-based social perceptions more than they value their own personal growth.
• Look for shortcuts, make excuses, and struggle with dishonesty.
• Do not respect their peers, themselves, and or adults.
• Do not demonstrate effort in their learning.

Students who excel in this type of setting

• Often have exposure to multiple adverse childhood experiences.
• Express emotional pain and challenges in their family dynamics. Yet, they demonstrate a commitment to their personal achievement.
• Contribute to the emotional and intellectual safe learning environment they need to flourish with their peers.
• Vary in levels of extraversion, attention abilities, and types of learning differences.*** Ashley's methodology for pairing their present sense of responsibility with competence-driven confidence reduces feelings of overwhelm that interfere with content knowledge application.

Principals can expect Ashley to consult with them and share results throughout the transformational journey.

*Ashley works with students of all ethnicities and genders though the children photographed above are girls of color.

**At least 75 minutes of offsite customized curriculum planning is required for each onsite hour of facilitation.

***Literacy, Math, and Movement Groups are neither group therapy nor are they a substitute for group therapy. These groups can supplement children with and without individual educational plans.
