Approved BSAP Vendor: Social-Emotional Support – Student Mentoring and Academic Support

Yancy's program offers a comprehensive range of services to African American/Black students, including tutorials, mentoring, creative enrichment, and early childhood education. The aim of the program is to reduce student stress and promote a healthier, happier life for Black students. It does this by using various youth development programs to build the competencies necessary to succeed in school and beyond, such as focusing on relationships, self-care, and education. Simplifying things can have a positive effect, allowing individuals to improve the quality of their work, gather the necessary information for success, and spend more time focusing on what is essential for their overall success.

Promote healthy lifestyles and teach/demonstrate positive patterns of social interactions.

A primary focus of the program is to help participants habituate ways to interact positively with their environment and community and respect themselves (including their bodies) and others.

Provide youth with safe and supportive environments.

Yancy Mentoring is a program offered in schools that ensures parents that their child is under the care of trained adults in a safe and secure environment. The program offers an engaging curriculum that supports the growth of students both academically and socially. Additionally, the program fosters an intense sense of community among the students.

Foster relationships between youth and caring adults who can mentor and guide them.

Yancy Mentors are selected for their ability to connect with their students, to serve as role models, and to have the patience to teach even the most intractable student.

Support the development of youth’s knowledge and skills.

Various ways: include study, tutoring, sports, the arts, vocational education, and service learning.

Engage youth as active partners and leaders who can help move communities forward.

Students in Yancy Mentoring are always included as active participants in their academic and developmental decisions.

Provide opportunities for youth to show that they care – about others and society.

A significant goal of Yancy is that children who participate in our programs will grow into adults who positively contribute to their community.

Tutoring

Yancy's tutorials offer comprehensive instruction and personalized tutoring. Yancy administrators provide continuous support and constructive evaluations to ensure positive relationships between instructors, students, and peers. The curriculum focuses on the student's specific needs identified in the SLP and is connected to their regular school-day learning. The instruction is active, sequenced to achieve skill development objectives, and explicitly targets specific skills for development. Depending on the assessed needs of students and the school/community, instruction, and tutoring can take on different structures such as individual work, computer-aided instruction, 1:1, small group patterns up to 5:1, 8:1, and rarely, large groups up to 12:1 when appropriate. The content delivery can vary and includes structured and unstructured, independent and collective, and discovery-oriented, among others.

Our pull-out method pulls students out of class in small group tutorials with a teacher-to-student ratio of no more than 1:8. This method is beneficial to reach students easily distracted by the traditional school setting.

Our push-in method is like co-teaching. With this method, the Yancy tutor is pushed into the classroom to reinforce the material delivered by the lead teacher. Our tutors will not only service all the students in the school, but they will also have a caseload to monitor and develop students previously identified by the testing data, lead teacher, or campus administrator. This method also reduces the student-teacher ratio and gives troubled students the attention they need.

Our after-school services allow the flexibility to provide one-on-one or small group tutorials as described in our pull-out method.
