Currently, the Upward Bound students are engaged in the tutoring component. Students come to campus on Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6 p.m. Students are transported from the Franklin County School system to the campus where they are tutored by KSU students in Core Subject areas.
Upward Bound is proud to announce a partnership with KSU Education Department and Collegiate 100 where KSU students mentor and tutor current UB participants.
Dr. Brett Cormier, Professor in the Department of Education, conducted an ACT workshop for the UB juniors to prepare them for the state wide ACT test on March 18, 2014.
During the months of January-March, the GO College program is continuing to implement its academic year component. Academic Coaches, Brandon Gatson and Sherrick O'Quinn continue to implement the Extended School Day model with their student GO College Learning Community. Each student receives the opportunity to participate in one or two hours of programming focused on academic remediation, college and career readiness, and ACT preparation. The coaches also meet with students during the day for “pull-out” sessions to discuss the same subjects. Beginning in February, GO College has implemented “Saturday Math” which is a whole school event that encourages freshmen to build their skills in Algebra I.
Currently, the GO College coaches are visiting the feeder middle schools in Louisville, KY to recruit new students into the program. The coaches have visited Newburg Middle School and Ramsey Middle School. They will also be visiting other middle schools within the Louisville community. The coaches are in the process of creating lesson plans for the students according to their grade level for the upcoming school year.
