www.eTAP.org is being used by Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson for after school programs.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA–September 15, 2007– Kim Richards, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson krichards@bgccarson.org is using www.etap.org for all her after school programs to help students with their school studies. She said

“Check out the eTAP website, www.etap.org, to learn more about the awesome resource. I am using it at all of my sites, including schools (I have mobile, wireless laptops) and the teachers/principals are PUMPED about its capacity!

A few of the LA Clubs are using Prop 49 funds to contract with eTAP for the program. You can allocate it as a program expense! Also, it is soooo easy to use. It will really accentuate BGCA’s Education and Career Development Core Program area tremendously on so many levels”

School principals are reporting between 90% and 100% pass rates for underachieving High School students who use eTAP.org for CAHSEE test preparation. Educators who have used www.etap.org’s resources have also increased their students’ CST scores for elementary and middle schools. With the help of eTAP’s on-line resources, teachers have also been able to increase their schools’ API scores and meet AYP goals.

eTAP.org is a website that provides easy access to K-12 resources that satisfy each student’s learning style. eTAP’s comprehensive recourses include: instructional text, assessments, practice exercises, worksheets, interactive games and videos.

All eTAP instructional material is aligned with state standards and qualifies for federal and state funding. Being a non-profit corporation, eTAP’s goal is to make educational resources available and affordable to all students at every level.

Some of the chronic problems eTAP.org is helping to solve in our schools:

• High failing rate of at risk students.
• High loss of experienced and new teachers, especially at urban schools.
• Lack of instructional resources that students find engaging, motivating and effective.

eTAP.org is currently being used by 30 High Schools in the Los Angeles and San Diego area to prepare for the High School Exit exam with great success.
