316 Words2 Pages

Last semester, I started working for Greater University Tutoring Services (GUTS) as a Tutor Resource Coordinator. Though I have previously tutored economics at GUTS, the position has offered me unique opportunities to engage with the organization in greater depth and learn how it is providing educational support for more than 4,000 students on campus. As Tutor Resource Coordinator, my job is to deliver high quality academic and language tutors through creating different tutor training and leadership development for tutors. One specific example about my work at GUTS is my creation of a standardized tutor training program. Previously, GUTS had four separate tutor training programs. Despite their success, I found the need to connect tutors

    This position provided me with the opportunity to affect positive change for two student populations with distinct needs: Long Term English Learners and English Learners who received special education services. During my tenure, I led teachers of ELs in analyzing CST and Periodic Assessment data in English Language arts and Mathematics, identifying the appropriate ELD and Access-to-Core/SDAIE strategies to meet students needs, through lesson/strategy study cycles. Through lesson study and coaching conversations with teachers, Monroe’s EL subgroup achieved a 38-point increase on the CST ELA during the 2012-2013 school year, surpassing its AYP targets for math and English Language Arts for this subgroup. While an impressive achievement, the students’ success reflected the underlying mandate to provide rigorous content to all ELs with fidelity to SDAIE and Access to Core strategies by teachers and the professional understanding that we are a team of teachers working together each day to impact student

    I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.
