Epic High School North

Epic High School North needed additional ELA Regents support for students who had not yet demonstrated the skills required to pass the exam. Several students were preparing for another attempt and needed dedicated time, individualized instruction, and stronger confidence ahead of the June Regents.

Toolkit Tutors placed Lela Chapman, a bilingual ELA Regents tutor, to provide pull-out instruction in small groups. Lela reviewed students' prior exam performance, identified individual skill gaps, and used focused study sessions to build exam readiness over the spring cycle.

Lela worked closely with Assistant Principal Meghan Hausdorf to coordinate student support and respond as scheduling and student needs evolved. The consistent placement allowed Lela to build relationships with students while keeping instruction focused on each learner's next steps.

• Spring 2026 cycle
• ELA Regents support
• Daytime pull-out tutoring
• Small-group instruction
• Bilingual support
• Prior exam data review
• Individualized skill planning

Among the eight students with both baseline and post-program exam scores, the average ELA Regents score increased by 25.6 points.

One student improved from 11% on the January Regents exam to a passing score in June. School leadership credited Lela's support and dedication with making a meaningful difference for the students she tutored.
