WHAT IS IT?

The RAM Center is a data-driven Academic Support Center providing targeted, small-group instruction in literacy, numeracy, and executive functioning. Using assessment data and progress monitoring, we deliver focused support to help students strengthen skills, build confidence, and succeed in their core academic classes. Students also receive help with coursework in math, English, science, and other content areas—supported by evidence-based strategies differentiated for each RAM Center student. Most importantly, the RAM Center is a place where students feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to grow academically and personally.
