Yes! Fellows will receive support in the subject matter and lesson plans for every session. In addition, there is ample time before the Fellowship to brush up on your grade-level skills.
We focus on literacy for elementary grades, math for middle school grades, and SAT prep for high school grades.
Additionally, we do have some placements in dual-language classrooms, requiring fluency in Spanish. These placements will be clearly marked.
You will work with an experienced educator who works at your Ignite partner school and serves as a Ignite Site Leader. They will be your main point of contact and your liaison with the school, teachers, and students.
There is not a standard curriculum. Research on high-impact tutoring shows that tutoring is most effective when aligned to what students are learning in their classes; for that reason we don’t have a standardized curriculum, and each school uses a tutoring curriculum customized to their school.
Your school-based Ignite Site Leader will support you to learn and become effective at working with the type of curriculum needed for tutoring.
Additionally, Ignite will provide virtual live and self-paced trainings to prepare you to tutor effectively.
