iEducate works with school districts to close achievement gaps by engaging youth mentors within the classroom model.

The most decisive factor between a college graduate and a high school dropout is early academic achievement, yet in Houston only half of our public school students are passing 5th grade at the state-recommended level.
 
As a result, schools are often led to employ unsustainable measures while certain shared truths are not being systematically addressed:
 

1. It is impossible to educate increasingly disparate classrooms – one teacher alone cannot differentiate instruction for the widening spectrum of learning levels.
2. Without inspiration, students lack a fundamental value for education – as a result, they do not develop the self-efficacy needed to drive and sustain academic growth.

When tackling the challenges of academic underperformance, we must first reexamine the heart of our education system:
the classroom model.
