**Financial and Budget Information** = = ==Implementing interventions can be costly. Hopkins will need to send 15 math teachers to the county math seminar each year. The seminars are held at the county office and cost the school or teachers nothing to attend. The after school program will cost the school 32.00 an hour for each teacher. The cost will be $11,520 for after school tutoring for 2 hours twice aweek for 5 teachers for 18 weeks. The teachers will create a newsletter. The cost is 2 cents a copy. There are approximately 400 students 4th and 5th grade.That is $80.00 a month in copies. This is $800 a year. Hiring certified educational math teachers with a master’s degree or higher with more than five years of experience can cost the school between 53,000 to 64,000 a year per teacher. Lastly, parent volunteers and monthly conferences for students who are failing will be at no cost to the school.== = = = = =Module 4 - Intervention plan= Below is the link =Yolanda Lyons Module 4=

 * Problem Summary:**Over the past couple of years the passing score on state standardized testscores especially in math are rising. Hopkins is having difficulties meetingthe passing cut off score. If this school does not make changes in the math curriculum,it will not meet the annual yearly progress next year. This would be the thirdyear in a row which means restructuring changes will occur at Hopkins.

School was established in 1984


 * Location:**Lilburn, GA


 * Clientele**: Theclientele are the students.

 * Who are the keypersonnel in the organization that can provide you with insights into theperformance problem for which you will propose an intervention?** The dataadministrator, principal, and assistant principal can give me insight into theperformance problem.

Teachers would receive math training from math specialist through the county. The training would last for four days. Tips and hands on activities are discussed at the training.
 * Module 3**
 * The low cost strategy**

Schools that are struggling in math would need to have after school tutorial sessions several times a week to reinforce the learning that is taking place in the classroom.
 * The medium cost strategy**

This intervention would consist of the county hiring teachers that are certified in math. The other option is for the county to give experienced highly qualified teachers pay incentives to teach in low economic failing school system.
 * The high cost strategy**
