About this user
The Seeds of Literacy program brings together people with diverse backgrounds in order to help break a root cause of poverty: illiteracy. Since 1997, Seeds has provided free, one-on-one tutoring for basic education and GED preparation to adults in Cuyahoga County. A unique curriculum and one-on-one tutoring offer maximum learning by building relationships of trust between the student and the tutor. This approach allows each student to work at her or his own academic level; therefore, students of all academic levels participate in the program. We offer open enrollment, are open year round, and incorporate technology into our curriculum.
Using the strategies of one-on-one tutoring, a curriculum designed and developed by Seeds, positive student recruitment and an expanded course offering, Seeds shows a student retention rate of 69%, more than twice the national average of 33%. Likewise, a comparable graduation rate is seen with 7% of Seeds students successfully achieving their GED and graduation, in comparison with the national average of 4% among students of adult literacy programs.
