HOW YOU'LL GROW
Training, coaching, and experience in effective, research-based literacy strategies:
Our training is one of many things that make our program powerful. Literacy experts called Master Coaches will train you on the interventions and assessments we use. You will also be assigned an Internal Coach at your school to provide ongoing and individual support throughout the year. Finally, your Program Manager oversees your professional journey throughout the year. This tiered support provides the content knowledge and professional tools tutors need to be effective and confident in helping children grow their literacy skills.
Professional skill-building & networks:
We invest so much in our tutors because they are each given real responsibility. If you are pursuing or continuing an education career, the hands-on literacy training and connections to school-site staff offer a “foot in the door” in the field. If you are not pursuing an education career, being part of our program provides transferrable professional experience and skills, along with adding and impressive service year term to your résumés.
