Project Title: Talent Search and Upward Bound (TSUB)
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Since 2011, the Talent Search and Upward Program (TSUB) has provided integrative educational enrichment and academic supportive services and has successfully graduated over 1,719 first-generation students. As one of the only education programs that have integrated academic counselors into school systems, TSUB focuses on 562 low-income students (9th through 12th grade) from Chula Vista Senior, San Ysidro, and Sweetwater high schools, all located within the Sweetwater Union High School District. The school demographic has more than 80% of its population being Hispanic\/ESL students, and over 70% living below the federal poverty line with minimal parental support and resources. The data from the Department of Education reflects college enrollment in Sweetwater Union High School District is at 47.4% compared to the state average of 65.4%, and only 51.2% in Language Arts and 28.9% in Mathematics met the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) standard. <\/p>\n
To begin improving equitable education opportunities, TSUB has increased student access academic counseling, college resources, and comprehensive core subject tutoring, while also providing fun and vibrant learning experiences through community-based enrichment activities. The four program components are:
\n1) Academic Advancement \u2013 provides students with tailored academic success plans\/academic counseling alongside of daily core subject tutoring (including STEM subjects, humanities studies, and the arts) and bi-monthly boot camps for additional support.
\n2) Student Development\/Enrichment Activities \u2013 organizes leadership and life skills workshops, guest speakers, and field trips (to museums, college tours, musicals, etc.) that foster student\u2019s Social and Emotional Learning, creativity, and confidence inside and outside of the classroom setting.
\n3) College Preparation \u2013 host one-on-one college counseling, college application workshops, standardized testing preparation, and college preparatory courses.
\n4) Parent Academy \u2013 provide quarterly parent workshops and parent meetings to increase awareness of postsecondary education and improve parental support. <\/p>\n
While the program has been tremendously successful in the last ten years, it is LSSSC\u2019s strategic vision to increase program support and diversify program funding. With the requested funding of $10,000 from the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation, LSSSC aims to further expand our program effort to advance equitable education as we prepare for the 2023 \u2013 24 academic year.\n<\/p>\n
