We use high quality assessments to create an individualized study plan for each student that we work with. Our program specializes in personal interaction between our students and our team of qualified tutors. Literacy and Beyond's staff of teachers work tirelessly to deliver one-on-one and group learning opportunities to ensure that ALL of our students have a positive learning experience while accomplishing their educational goals.
P.A.C.T. (Parents and Children Together)
The P.A.C.T. classes, provided in partnership with St. Clair County RESA, are opportunities for parents and children to engage in an hour-long session of learning and playing together. In each class, teachers introduce important early literacy skills combined with games, crafts, snacks, and songs that compliment the skills of the week. Parents are given hands-on activities including free books and are empowered to begin using them at home to increase their child's school readiness skills.
Adult Literacy Instruction
Literacy and Beyond provides adult literacy instruction by qualified staff for students who need extra help with reading and writing in order to pass their GED tests. After careful assessment, students participate in small classes and one on one tutoring that provide the support and encouragement they need to build skills and confidence in language arts.
Early Childhood Education
Developed and directed by Literacy and Beyond's qualified early learning staff, this program for 0-3 year-old's is designed to integrate play, discovery, and early literacy activities in a safe and stimulating environment. Learning goals are established for the preschoolers in this program, and parents are encouraged and equipped to reinforce these objectives at home. Childcare is provided at no cost to women enrolled in the GED program.
Personal Development
While at our 2GEN Learning Center, students have the opportunity to develop skills to improve their future success in college and the workforce. A blend of hands on workshops, group learning activities, and self-paced curriculum make learning fun. Students also attend a weekly 45 minute Women's Empowerment class taught by a certified life coach designed to discover and build on the strengths that each student possesses.
Professional Counseling
2GEN adult students can receive counseling services from Lynda Ross, MA, LPC, NCC at the 2GEN Learning Center. Counseling is voluntary and provided at no cost to students. This extra support offers students the opportunity to build resilience empowering them to persevere through the challenges of improving their education and leading to an all around healthy life.
