  25. Comments From EAs in the field • “I routinely check their grades and meet with them individually to discuss their progress or lack of and we brainstorm ways for them to make improvements”. • “What I try to do is celebrate each and every small success I see along the way. Sometimes I have to look hard to see any real change but I celebrate anything I can find no matter how small it seems”. • One “young man is currently working in a service department at Sears doing some customer service (he is a natural) but mostly he uses the training he received to install and repair products that Sears sells”. I used a reading and math testing tool (WRAT4) to monitor student achievement. Over the two years of serving this student he “showed a steady upward...” “The data mirrored the academic progression… The way he viewed himself and how others viewed him in the community shifted…” it was positive image of how his life would turn out and a smile for everyone”.
