This program was designed to examine ways to assess competencies in basic skills, as well as ways to remediate those secondary students found lacking in these skills. Students were identified through the use of their Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP) scores. Teachers reassigned to remedial classes revealed a need for teaching teachers to work with this newly identified remedial population. In response to this need, the BSAP manual was developed by St. Andrews High School in Charleston, South Carolina. The manual is divided into seven sections: (1) motivating the underachieving secondary student; (2) assessing the underachieving students; (3) master teacher observations; (4) grouping strategies and remarks; (5) teaching strategies for remedial students; (6) BSAP record keeping; and (7) participating teacher recommendations. Sample worksheets and lesson outlines are included in the manual. Included in the appendices are reports on the South Carolina School Incentive Reward Program, course syllabi, interview/observation forms and consultation plan format and examples. (JD)
