Bossier Parish Community College Selects Grade Results to Support Nursing and Other Professional Programs with Online Tutoring and Instruction

Bossier City, LA, January 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Grade Results, the leading innovator of live, online instruction, is pleased to announce that Bossier Parish Community College selected it as its online tutoring and distance-learning provider. Grade Results will help to support students in a number of subjects, including nursing, English, math, social studies and writing lab support.

Grade Results’ proprietary Graduation Advancement Plan blends expert instruction and customized curriculum, and is delivered via the company’s live, one-to-one, online platform.

Students will interact with a live, advanced-degreed instructor on an online interface and whiteboard and will engage with supporting content that includes illustrations, audio, video and other modalities to help them fully grasp the concepts they are learning in class.

Grade Results’ Graduation Advancement Plan is focused on three areas of critical importance to colleges: attaining readiness for college-level coursework, providing remediation where necessary, and achieving retention to improve the college’s overall rate of graduation.

“We are extremely proud of our academic offerings at Bossier Parish Community College. One of the areas that differentiate BPCC is our commitment to provide new, innovative resources to help our students succeed. Whether a student is attending classes on-campus or attending virtual classes on his own schedule, access to tutoring and programs that reinforces what he is learning is essential. Grade Results’ model and focus on the individual student make them an ideal partner for us,” said Laura Jones, Program Assistant, Writing Support Services.

Numerous studies have shown that when students have adequate access to support services and feel that success is attainable, their propensity to stay in school and obtain a diploma are greatly increased.

“Retention is a significant topic of concern for community colleges all across the country. Especially with regard to the extreme shortage of nurses and other skilled professionals, it is even more critical that schools are providing the support and tools necessary to encourage students to finish their programs,” said Matti Prima, executive Vice President of Grade Results. “We are privileged to have the opportunity to work with Bossier Parish Community College and look forward to being a partner with them in helping students achieve their potential.”

In addition to Bossier Parish Community College, Grade Results recently announced contract wins with Dillard University, Paul Quinn College, North Central Texas College, Grayson County College, Oklahoma City Community College, Burlington County College and Camden County College.
