[Counselors] Indian Ed tutoring

Wed Oct 18 17:39:52 CDT 2017

We are a Title VI program and do academics and cultural with our Native
American Indian kids Pre-K through 12th. One of the services we do is our
tutoring program. We have it for 1st grade through 8th, where they actually
sign up and gets days set of when they will come. Our grant covers reading,
English, writing - all that goes with English and Math help. We offer
tutoring at all of our 9 elementary schools. 7 of them are currently after
school, two were starting during the day. We have teachers on site that
work for us after school and the kids signed up go to their classrooms and
work with what they are struggling with. We tutor Mon - Thur. Some kids are
signed up for 2 days, some just one, depending on how far behind they are
or how they are struggling. We connect with counselors at each site and
give them a list of our kids and they highlight who they know will need
additional help. They also help get those lists out to our teachers as well
who do the same. We send letters and applications out to parents at the
beginning of each school year and tell them about tutoring and so forth.
Kids who were still in it last year are automatically signed up or they get
letters first to get them started up first. Usually because they need it.
For our middle school it works the same, 6th through 8th. We have 3
teachers there and one of the three also help in the morning. We work in
addition to what the school provides too. Sometimes it takes the strain off
of the school staff, to pull the Indian kids and get with our Title VI
teacher tutors and free's up space for them to help more kids or make their
groups a little smaller.

Its basically the just of it. Each Title VI program works differently. We
try to keep ours geared toward the kids directly and being a partner with
the schools.

I hope this helps.
