Our goal is to play an important role in our partner schools’ reading and math intervention efforts by strategically serving 50 students across grades 1 – 5 in each school. One of S.S.S Tutoring operating principles is to minimize work created for school staff. We provide the curriculum and manage the volunteers so that, on a day-to-day basis, no additional work is created for teachers and administrators. That said, for the program to be effective, important commitments are needed from partner schools.
EXPECTATIONS
