The document discusses the objectives and problems with a Saturday school program aimed at preparing students for standardized tests. The program was struggling with student engagement, disruptive behavior, no science content, a random curriculum, and inability to measure mastery or attendance. The author implemented three solutions: 1) Regrouping students by achievement level, 2) Providing incentives for attendance and participation, and 3) Tracking student progress with mini quizzes. The results were smaller class sizes, inclusion of science, focused lessons, increased engagement and accountability, and a way to measure mastery. While successful, the author realized they neglected an important resource - colleagues - and that an IE master's could help utilize a team setting in the future.
