HOSTS (Help One Student To Succeed)
HOSTS (Help One Student To Succeed). A structured mentoring program in Language Arts. The program targets compensatory students (K-12) who need assistance in reading, writing, thinking, and study skills. Approved by JDRP for "at-risk" students in grades K-12.

Description HOSTS (Help One Student To Succeed) is a structured mentoring program in language arts designed to reinforce the classroom teacher and reduce the workload, while improving student outcomes and containing costs. HOSTS does not require additional personnel, but works with existing compensatory staff, improving their efficiency and productivity. HOSTS is a continuous progress model and operates successfully with any assessments, curriculum, objectives and philosophies. The HOSTS database and software programs align the school and district's curriculum with any state or locally developed objectives, thus saving up to 80% of the teacher's time in planning.

HOSTS has received numerous awards for instructional leadership, including being selected as a national mentoring model by the U.S. Secretary of Education; a mentoring model for dropout prevention by the National Center for Dropout Prevention, Clemson University; and the Secretary's Excellence in Compensatory Education award as their state's exemplary compensatory program for Washington, Arizona, Montana, Texas, California, Hawaii, and North Dakota.
