How can SCOLA help me?

All instruction is free and confidential.

 

Types of Programs

·      Literacy

Serving the native-born adult who needs to brush up reading and writing skills, or math skills, or everyday living skills is where SCOLA began in 1979.  This sometimes includes prepping for various tests.  Any adult in Lackawanna County who needs help can participate.  The only conditions are that they

1.   Live in Lackawanna County

2.   Must be 16 years of age or older

3.   Be out of school.

·      ESL (English as a Second Language)

SCOLA meets this dramatically increasing need in Lackawanna County primarily through our Small Group Instruction Program.  ESL students may also be served in our One-to-One Program.  From time to time classroom (10-15 students) instruction is offered.  Students may receive additional instruction using the computer lab or attending special classes offered on-site.

 

Types of Instruction 

·      One-to-One Tutoring

Many SCOLA students learn to read through the One-to-One Tutor/Student Program.  This confidential, personalized and goal-oriented approach to reading has proven successful in meeting the special needs of adult learners.  Due to the dramatic increase in demand for services, this approach is usually limited to Literacy students who may be too self-conscious to participate in a group.

·      Small Group Instruction  

These groups consist of three to five students working with one tutor.  This approach has been added to SCOLA's programs in order to address the fact that there is always a waiting list for SCOLA's literacy services.  These groups are usually created for ESL students because it provides more opportunity for interactive speech in English.  Small Group students are grouped according to ability.

·      Computer-Assisted Instruction

 

To address rising student numbers and the changing times, CAI has been added.  Our 17-seat lab offers the most modern programs for both literacy and ESL students, and may be used alone or in combination with One-to-One or Small Group Instruction.  There is usually someone in the lab to assist students.

I want to become a student.

 

  • If you have decided that the programs SCOLA offers would help you or if you want more information, just call the SCOLA office.  Dial 346-6203.  You will want to contact Maria Vital, our Student Coordinator, who speaks Spanish.  Her extension is 14.  She can answer any questions or make an appointment for you for your interview (This will take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 and a half hours, depending on the student’s skill level.)

 

  • All students must come in for an interview and an assessment of their skills.  (An assessment is like a test, but you do not pass or fail.  It just tells us your skill level so we know where to start.)

 

  • Remember, instruction is free and confidential for everyone.

 

  • Once accepted into the program, students sign a contract agreeing to attend instruction for at least 50 hours a year.

 

  • ESL students will receive a photo ID after completing 50 hours of instruction.
