HOSTS Learning Program Plays Key Role In Improving Success Rate On High Stakes Test And Overall Student Achievement The Natomas Unified School District (NUSD) located in Sacramento, California, currently serves over 11,000 students in its 16 traditional, charter and alternative education schools. Nearly 40 percent of the student population receives free or reduced fee lunches.  Intensive 10-Day Summer School Program Saves Students From Failure How do you help 8-year-old children at risk of repeating the third grade? This question kept Meriwether teachers and district administrators awake at night after the State of Georgia passed a new policy requiring that third grade students successfully pass the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT). Those that did not pass must repeat the third grade. Test, Target, Teach Strategy in Pine Bluff Arkansas Reinforced with LearnerLink Due to the high demand for alignment, reporting, and accountability, the Pine Bluff School District needed to implement a systematic approach to what Frank Anthony, superintendent, refers to as “The Three Ts of Instruction: Test, Target, and Teach”. “I am a firm believer in following the Three Ts, so we must pre- and post-test our students on a consistent basis, target deficiencies in learning for each student, and effectively teach or re-teach based on those challenges...that’s why we adopted LearnerLink to use in our district.” Roanoake Academy Rises to Meet State Standards Using HOSTSLink After only 5 months of implementation, the students passing rates went from 46 percent the previous year to 51 percent. The program showed promise and continued into the 2002-2003 school year.
