Course Offerings

 

Peer Tutoring (Elective)

Grade Level: 11-12 1/2-1 Credit

Prerequisite: Requires an application and 140 hours for one credit

This course is designed as an elective class for students enrolled primarily in advanced level classes. It is by design that most tutoring would be at the elementary and middle schools but may be approved for some 9^th and 10^th grade students. The students enrolling for this course are expected to provide their own transportation (with parental permission) and would meet tutorial expectations of a cooperating teacher at the "home school".

 

 

The goal and purpose of this service type class is to provide additional and remedial instruction of ESL, VLT, computer applications and other areas of difficulties for students. It is only logical to schedule the tutoring during the regular school day requiring release time for the student to travel and tutor. The cooperating teacher would be responsible for assigning a grade of pass/fail for each grade reporting period to the high school coordinator. A pass grade is a credit earned, however, without quality points for GPA. The cooperating teacher is also responsible for documenting the tutoring hours and lesson plans for the student tutor.
