DescReading Corps Minnesota Reading Corps is a statewide literacy program that is increasing the number of Minnesota children who are proficient readers by the end of third grade. Research shows this benchmark is critical to later success in school and in life: After third grade, students apply their reading skills to learn the increasingly complex, multidisciplinary information introduced in fourth grade and beyond. Those who read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to graduate from high school than those who do not.Minnesota Reading Corps trains and deploys AmeriCorps members to provide tutoring to students age 3 to grade 3 who need an extra boost to catch up to grade level targets. The program partners with school districts and preschool agencies to place highly trained and professionally supported AmeriCorps members in early childhood education programs, Head Start centers and elementary schools. Reading Corps tutors are trained in specific research-based literacy interventions, and are supported by both site-based educational staff as well as master coaches who are among Minnesotas top literacy experts. With access to the latest research on reading intervention strategies, these trained AmeriCorps tutors work one-on-one with students, as well as in small group and large group settings. They provide tailored interventions so that each child can gain the literacy skills they need at a rate to become successful readers by the end of third grade.Reading Corps provides what struggling readers need individualized, data-driven instruction; well-trained tutors; expert coaching; interventions delivered with fidelity; and the frequency and duration necessary for student achievement. This model has been validated as effective and replicable through a rigorous and independent evaluation by NORC at the University of Chicago, commissioned by the Corporation for National and Community Service. This study showed that Reading Corps is closing the achievement gap. Students of color, students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch and English Learners are achieving outcomes equal to or better than their peers. In fact, those with higher risk factors actually made stronger gains. In addition, AmeriCorps members produce significantly greater increases in student literacy outcomes among preschool and elementary students in any setting urban, suburban or rural. Further, research conducted by the Center for Learning Solutions has shown that Reading Corps participants are three times less likely to be assigned to special education than non-participants, creating a permanent benefit to children and a significant ongoing savings to schools that can be redirected to the classroom for the benefit of all children. Through this program, ServeMinnesota demonstrates the capacity to successfully design and implement large-scale initiatives. Since 2003, Minnesota Reading Corps has helped more than 200,000 struggling students progress to reading proficiency by the end of third grade. Last year, 89% of preschool Reading Corps participants showed growth on at least 3 of 5 key early literacy skills, indicating their readiness for Kindergarten. About 80% of K-3 students exceeded their growth goals, narrowing or closing the gap between their initial skill level and their grade level target. School administrators and staff appreciate the added support for their students. A year end survey shows 100% of administrators believe the program has a positive impact on their site and students. Teachers agree that the program helps reach more students and 95% feel positive about students in their classroom participating in Reading Corps.Desc

DescAmeriCorps AmeriCorps, also referred to as the domestic Peace Corps, provides opportunities for citizens to serve their communities and country each year. People who join AmeriCorps commit to a year of service in exchange for a modest living allowance and an education award that can be applied to past or future schooling. AmeriCorps is real-life education and work experience wrapped into one. The AmeriCorps motto is Get things done and members accomplish this through a wide range of service opportunities. AmeriCorps members tutor and mentor children and youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, provide support to after-school programs, help communities respond to disasters, and build the capacity of nonprofit groups to become self-sustaining. They also recruit, train and supervise community volunteers to extend and complement their community efforts. Since its creation in 1994, ServeMinnesota has mobilized more than 15,000 AmeriCorps members who have trained and supported more than 300,000 volunteers.Desc

DescMinnesota Math Corps, an AmeriCorps program modeled after Minnesota Reading Corps, is designed to help 4th-8th graders achieve proficiency in math, a critical gateway skill for high school graduation, college admission and college completion. Math Corps provides schools with a tool to bridge the gap between current math research and the capacity to apply that research within their classrooms. Rigorously trained tutors supported by math experts not only achieve results for individual students, but also serve as a start-up team for school sites that want and need support to implement a data-based problem solving model of math instruction. In 2016-2017, Math Corps tutors served more than 4,700 students who needed help reaching algebra-readiness by 8th grade. Math Corps utilizes nationally-recognized instructional recommendations from the Institute of Education Science (IES) for students in need of moderate to strong support. Students receive explicit targeted instruction, immediate feedback, and visual supports throughout each lesson to build the strong foundation needed for solving progressively more challenging lessons.Math Corps undergoes a robust statewide program evaluation annually to understand program impact and drive continuous improvements to the model. Students who receive Math Corps tutoring are catching up to their peers in the classroom: 67% of students served exceeded their grade-level growth expectations, encouraging results given that 100% of the students tutored by Math Corps were at risk for not achieving proficiency. Math Corps also offers a year-end survey to Internal Coaches and building administrators to better understand the impact of the program on systems change, data-based decision making, and overall satisfaction. Through that survey, 100% of coaches agreed that Math Corps had a positive impact on students and 100% of administrators agreed that Math Corps tutors provided more practice time each day to students who need it.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Reading Corps Minnesota Reading Corps is a statewide literacy program that is increasing the number of Minnesota children who are proficient readers by the end of third grade. Research shows this benchmark is critical to later success in school and in life: After third grade, students apply their reading skills to learn the increasingly complex, multidisciplinary information introduced in fourth grade and beyond. Those who read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to graduate from high school than those who do not.Minnesota Reading Corps trains and deploys AmeriCorps members to provide tutoring to students age 3 to grade 3 who need an extra boost to catch up to grade level targets. The program partners with school districts and preschool agencies to place highly trained and professionally supported AmeriCorps members in early childhood education programs, Head Start centers and elementary schools. Reading Corps tutors are trained in specific research-based literacy interventions, and are supported by both site-based educational staff as well as master coaches who are among Minnesotas top literacy experts. With access to the latest research on reading intervention strategies, these trained AmeriCorps tutors work one-on-one with students, as well as in small group and large group settings. They provide tailored interventions so that each child can gain the literacy skills they need at a rate to become successful readers by the end of third grade.Reading Corps provides what struggling readers need individualized, data-driven instruction; well-trained tutors; expert coaching; interventions delivered with fidelity; and the frequency and duration necessary for student achievement. This model has been validated as effective and replicable through a rigorous and independent evaluation by NORC at the University of Chicago, commissioned by the Corporation for National and Community Service. This study showed that Reading Corps is closing the achievement gap. Students of color, students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch and English Learners are achieving outcomes equal to or better than their peers. In fact, those with higher risk factors actually made stronger gains. In addition, AmeriCorps members produce significantly greater increases in student literacy outcomes among preschool and elementary students in any setting urban, suburban or rural. Further, research conducted by the Center for Learning Solutions has shown that Reading Corps participants are three times less likely to be assigned to special education than non-participants, creating a permanent benefit to children and a significant ongoing savings to schools that can be redirected to the classroom for the benefit of all children. Through this program, ServeMinnesota demonstrates the capacity to successfully design and implement large-scale initiatives. Since 2003, Minnesota Reading Corps has helped more than 200,000 struggling students progress to reading proficiency by the end of third grade. Last year, 89% of preschool Reading Corps participants showed growth on at least 3 of 5 key early literacy skills, indicating their readiness for Kindergarten. About 80% of K-3 students exceeded their growth goals, narrowing or closing the gap between their initial skill level and their grade level target. School administrators and staff appreciate the added support for their students. A year end survey shows 100% of administrators believe the program has a positive impact on their site and students. Teachers agree that the program helps reach more students and 95% feel positive about students in their classroom participating in Reading Corps. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Minnesota Math Corps, an AmeriCorps program modeled after Minnesota Reading Corps, is designed to help 4th-8th graders achieve proficiency in math, a critical gateway skill for high school graduation, college admission and college completion. Math Corps provides schools with a tool to bridge the gap between current math research and the capacity to apply that research within their classrooms. Rigorously trained tutors supported by math experts not only achieve results for individual students, but also serve as a start-up team for school sites that want and need support to implement a data-based problem solving model of math instruction. In 2016-2017, Math Corps tutors served more than 4,700 students who needed help reaching algebra-readiness by 8th grade. Math Corps utilizes nationally-recognized instructional recommendations from the Institute of Education Science (IES) for students in need of moderate to strong support. Students receive explicit targeted instruction, immediate feedback, and visual supports throughout each lesson to build the strong foundation needed for solving progressively more challenging lessons.Math Corps undergoes a robust statewide program evaluation annually to understand program impact and drive continuous improvements to the model. Students who receive Math Corps tutoring are catching up to their peers in the classroom: 67% of students served exceeded their grade-level growth expectations, encouraging results given that 100% of the students tutored by Math Corps were at risk for not achieving proficiency. Math Corps also offers a year-end survey to Internal Coaches and building administrators to better understand the impact of the program on systems change, data-based decision making, and overall satisfaction. Through that survey, 100% of coaches agreed that Math Corps had a positive impact on students and 100% of administrators agreed that Math Corps tutors provided more practice time each day to students who need it. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Reading Corps National Replication ServeMinnesota provides technical assistance, training and evaluation to other states that are either in a planning or implementation phase of replicating the proven and effective Minnesota Reading Corps model. ServeMinnesota provides oversight and consultation to the essential elements of the Reading Corps model to ensure the model is delivered with fidelity in replication states, and provides data management and evaluation services.
