TREC at Willmar
Through a grant written by Sandy Olson-Loy and Division of Education Chair, Judy Kuechle, TREC was expanded to Willmar, Minnesota in 2007. Grant funds were awarded through the President's Initiative on Children, Youth and Families (PICYF) at the University of Minnesota. Willmar TREC offers opportunities for students in grades 4 through 6 to work on literacy skills in a two-week summer school workshop.
Three goals guide the work of the Willmar TREC program including:
- Provide literacy (reading and math) support for students in a two week summer project
- Increase students' confidence in approaching and completing reading, writing, and math exercises
- Provide strategies to support individual growth and development in targeted reading and math strands, as indicated on Northwest Educational Assessments (NWEA)
For nine days, intermediate level students and TREC tutors work on literacy skills in the areas of math, reading, and writing. On day ten, students visit the University of Minnesota Morris campus where they meet University of Minnesota Morris faculty, tour labs, and engage in additional litearcy activities as part of the two week summer workshop.
