2010-11 Middle Grades Extended Learning Opportunities
Phase II will allow for 45 additional hours of mathematics instruction and related project-based learning after school and/or on Saturdays; about 60% or 30 hours will focus on core math instruction and about 40% or 18 hours will focus on project-based learning. School Directors and teachers will also be paid for 15 hours of planning and 8 hours of professional development.The extended day/week model will target middle school students who receive Title I services and scored basic on the 2010 math Maryland State Assessment (MSA) or Math Benchmark B. The goal of Phase II of this grant is for students to score proficient or advanced on the 2011 Mathematics MSA.

*Other could mean that a teacher from your school is working with students as the project-based learning provider. Please calculate this teacher’s or teachers’ stipends out of your total budget. This teacher will be paid at a rate of $30/hr and should work with a maximum of 10 students per session. This teacher will also need to submit a detailed plan outlining their project-based learning activities.
** It is the school’s responsibility to build a relationship with providersand define a contract that will meet the financial obligations of both parties. Funding allocated to schools based on projected budgets will be used in its entiretyto pay providers should actual student enrollment fall below the contracted enrollment.

Describe the strategies that will be taken to implement the Extended Learning Program. Make sure to answer the following in questions in your narrative.
- What is/are your project-based learning initiative/s? How does it tie into increasing math achievement?
- When/How will data be analyzed to tailor the Extended Learning Program to meet the needs of your students?
- What is your plan for maintaining at least an 80% student attendance rate for the Extended Learning Program? Please work with your Providers to create this plan. If the actual enrollment at your Extended Learning Program is lower than projected, your funds will be frozen and used to pay providers for the contracted amount.
