Abstract	Title I Grants are designed to provide assistance to local educational facilities who are at risk of not meeting the academic standard set for them by the State. Eligible schools provide a detailed description of the supplemental educational program and the number of students from low-income families participating. The traditional approach is to use veteran teachers to implement the remedial interventions. In contrast, Phillips Middle in North Carolina contracted with Sylvan at School Program using Title I money to provide remediation services to seventy five students in grade 4-6 that scored a 1 or 2 on the End of Grade Test the previous year. Following the Sylvan intervention forty-eight (70.6%) of the students did not pass the EOG test while twenty-nine (29.4%) did. No significant differences were reported in multiple measures. Consistency is an issue with the Sylvan program while veteran teachers seemed best equipped to handle remediation. They are able to work closely with the classroom teacher and make mid-year changes to the program when necessary, even if that means adding a student who may have placed out at the beginning of the year.
