Description
CYC began implementing Early Learning Corps in Colorado in 2020 to provide early interventions to PreK students. Colorado Early Learning Corps is an AmeriCorps program with the mission of ensuring that all preschoolers in Colorado are ready for Kindergarten. The Early Learning Corps program combines the power of national service with literacy and numeracy science to deliver proven approaches that help our youngest learners transform into confident students – something that translates into all areas of their lives.
Because Early Learning Corps tutors are in schools full-time, they provide consistent individualized learning experiences through play, song, instruction, activities, and conversation. With consistent member attendance, preschool students supported by Early Learning Corps achieve significantly higher assessment scores than their peers by the end of one year. Tutors commit to a term of service and receive rigorous training plus ongoing expert coaching throughout the year.
This is an AmeriCorps service member position within an AmeriCorps program, Early Learning Corps. The Early Learning Tutor is embedded into a classroom of children ages 3 – 5 and serves alongside a teacher to develop children’s early literacy and math skills in preparation for Kindergarten. Tutors are trained in research-based early learning strategies and collaborate with the classroom teaching staff to enhance daily literacy and math opportunities and conduct literacy and math assessments to increase the number of children on target with early reading and math predictors.
Members serve during school hours and are needed for the entire school year. The position is full-time (35-40 hours per week), with school breaks and holidays off. This position begins on October 14th, 2024 and ends on May 30th, 2025.
