Building Blocks: Starting and Sustaining a Math Tutoring Internship

As the math department head and coach, I coach all the math teachers and lead professional development at my school. In addition to this role, I also teach tutoring internship classes. For these classes, I teach high school students how to tutor a group of focus students within a math class. I observe my tutors weekly and give them feedback. I also meet with them weekly to discuss the progress of their focus students. Building Blocks: Starting and Sustaining a Math Tutoring Internship includes the beginning of the year unit plan for training my students in these classes how to tutor. These tutoring strategies will include three of the strategies that I researched in my summer fellowship at Digital Promise Global (1. Growth Mindset Feedback 2. Modeling a Growth Mindset 3.Priortize Family Engagement). Tutors will also learn about the structures for how they will continue to communicate with their teacher, parents, and focus students throughout the year. I wanted to to do this as my ETP so this could be duplicated at my school in other subjects as well as duplicated in other schools.
