Because we actively recruit highly qualified teachers, our instructors know what kinds of information children are learning in school, what they are expected to know, and ways to connect academic content with after-school activities and projects.
We believe children do not care how much you know - until they know how much you care. One of the core elements of our programs is the belief that an instructor's personal commitment to serving the needs of the community is as crucial to the success of a program as his/her professional qualifications.
AlphaBEST professionals are carefully selected based on our corporate guidelines and state level regulations established for Extended Day Programs and Supplemental Educational Service Providers. While staffing patterns vary from site to site, many of our instructors either teach or have taught in public or private schools.
We use appropriate student to staff ratios to guarantee students a great deal of direct contact with caring instructors. Students work and learn in small groups with low pupil- teacher ratios (6-8 pupils per instructor), which allows instructors to focus on individual student needs.
All instructors receive intensive training on the important aspects of delivering a research-based curriculum and maintaining a safe environment where children feel relaxed and secure. Our instructors are trained to introduce essential higher order thinking skills that enable students to more effectively organize and compare information to make thoughtful decisions.
