KARVES

Story image 1_0
Students' Math and Reading Scores really soar thanks to the Learning Center!

Tutoring Services

KARVES provides two very important programs allowing students to achieve the goal of improving reading and math skills through applied techniques.  Both programs involve student tutoring services.

The Outreach Tutor Program is available in many of the KARVES District high schools.  This program is designed to assist students who are enrolled in career and technical educational classes and have been identified as needing assistance in their studies.

The Outreach tutors work with individual students and the school faculty to give students the best possible chance of success in their schoolwork and their future.  

The second program, KACC's Learning Center, is staffed with three full-time instructors and administered by a certified chairperson. The KACC Learning Center offers assistance both in applied reading and math.  Students who attend the Learning Center do so twice per week, for 40-minute intervals.  This small amount of time in a more individualized learning environment offers students an exceptional opportunity to enhance their reading and math skills - all a part of the well-rounded education provided at the Kankakee Area Career Center.

In fact, students who have attended the KACC Learning center have shown improved success in both the classroom as well as on the WorkKeys test (standardized test similar to PSAE), as evidenced by the following:

Math Results

    • 83.2% of all math students in the Learning Center showed an improvement in their scores. 

Of that 83.2 percent:

    • 81% Met or exceeded mastering the levels required
    • 8% showed significant improvement even though they did not master all skills at goal level
    • 11% showed some improvement.

Reading Results

    • 95.5% of all Reading students in the Learning Center showed an improvement in their scores.

Of that 95.5 percent:

    • 97.7% met or exceeded mastering the levels required
    • 2.3% showed significant improvement, even though they did not master all skills at goal level
    • of all students who took the post test for reading, only 4 did not show an improvement.
