The program places AmeriCorps members as literacy tutors in sites across Minnesota to implement a researched-based early literacy effort to help struggling readers. The Minnesota Reading Corps strategies are designed for both preschool-aged children and K–3rd grade students. Both full time and part time tutoring positions are open for the 2013-2014 school year. Work 1 to 1 with students to increase reading success! If interested, visit: http://minnesotareadingcorps.org/become-a-member/apply or visit with Mrs. Jiskra at 251-7551 Ext. 5007 MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BECOME A MATH TUTOR FOR MINNESOTA MATH CORPS RIGHT HERE AT TALAHI! Minnesota Math Corps tutors know growth. They see it in the kids they work with. They grow along with them. Our goal is to ensure Minnesota students are algebra-ready by eighth grade and to set them up for success in a world increasingly dependent on understanding math concepts. Passing algebra is strongly linked with college attendance and graduation. Right now, nearly two in five Minnesota eighth-graders are not on track to pass this course. You have the power and the skills to change that statistic. As a Minnesota Math Corps tutor, you’ll work with children from fourth through eighth grade to provide proven research-based instruction and ultimately, guide struggling students toward increased confidence and success in math. If you have the energy and the attitude, we provide the training and support you need to help students grow their math skills. Talahi has one full time member opening for the 2013-2014 school year.
