The Etu Schule Educational Project is a non-profit affiliate organization dedicated to providing free professional assistance and academic training to minority high school students throughout the state of California. Through the implementation of a series of academic programs, we dedicate ourselves to aiding students in their pursuit of academic success and their matriculation into the college or professional career of their choice. |
An Overview of our general operations: As an organization, we have been in operations since 1996 and continue to serve the needs of minority students throughout the state of California. In an effort to meet the changing needs of a often neglected demographic of young people, The Etu Schule Educational Project has accepted the challenge of bridging the gaps that exist between academic success and minority students across the state of California. As an organization in its eight year of existence in California, and 10th year overall, we find the effectiveness of our program limited to the constraints of financial and organizational support. Etu Schule (which is Ki-Swahilli for Our Schools), is dedicated to providing professional assistance to minority high school students throughout the state of California. Through the implementation of a series of academic programs, we have dedicated ourselves to aiding students in their pursuit of academic success and their matriculation into the college or professional career of their choice. How do we operate? While many seek to reinvent the current educational system, we simply seek to take ownership of the schools in our communities by providing them with supplemental curriculum (thus, the name Etu Schule = ‘Our Schools’). Our Academic Coaching Program provides participating students with academic mentors that we have termed, Academic Coaches. We provide academic guidance and training to all participating students. Students are assigned an academic coach who works with them twice a week until they graduate from high school. The Academic coach teaches students a range of academic skills including note taking, study preparation, how to ask strategic questions and numerous other skills. Through monthly academic workshops, and mentor-initiated contact, our trained academic coaches meet with students twice a week in order to monitor and plan study sessions. The responsibility of our academic coach hinges on three essential components termed the 3-M’s Motivating, Monitoring, and Mediating. Our goal is to encourage Etu Schule students to redefine their academic goals, and accept new challenges periodically set in conjunction with their academic coach, throughout the term of their participation. |
