NURSING STUDENTS

Operation Give Back
Youth Center

For the past ten weeks, University of Cincinnati senior nursing students Karen Schoen, Katie Christ, Sarah Moore, Kirsten Henderson, Sara Pasquinelli and Nicole Siebel, under the direction of Clinical Professor Valorie Grant, have been working with the children of Operation Give Back. As part of their community course for nursing, the student nurses have assessed the needs of the population of students attending the after school program offered by Operation Give Back. In their assessment of the students, the UC nursing students targeted the need for nutrition education. For their intervention, they developed a teaching presentation for the students based on the guidelines from the United States Department of Agriculture’s My Plate initiative. This presentation was given to the students on March 1, 2012 with the help of

Mr. and Mrs. Langston, founders of Operation Give Back.

Operation Give Back Tutor

Dear Wendy and Lee,

As another school year draws to an end I wanted to comment on my experience as a retired teacher turned Operation Give Back tutor. The progress that the third graders I worked with was significant. Children, who in fall said they didn’t have any homework and employed many avoidance behaviors, improved their study habits. By May theses same third graders came in prepared to work and felt good about their ability as learners. Oral reading fluency as well as reading comprehension improved. The children mastered the retelling of the story they had read. Recall of basic math facts sored with consistent practice. Problem solving moved from abstract to concrete.

Working as a tutor is rewarding. Truly OGB benefits the tutors as well as the children whose lives we are privileged to touch.

Sincerely,

Lynne Conrad
