Cleveland Heights-University Heights teacher Beth Rae demonstrates the method for teaching letter sound recognition being used as part of the Many Villages academic tutoring program.
Reaching Heights helps schools create volunteer tutoring program that meets their unique needs. Program components include volunteer recruiting, teacher orientation, tutor orientation, scheduling, communication and problem solving, and evaluation and renewal. While each program design is unique, all programs increase the level of volunteer assistance available to teachers and students, and share a commitment to three program expectations.
Take a look a this five-minute to hear from teachers and tutors about how this program is changing students’ lives.
While parents form the backbone of each school’s academic volunteer corps, other community members are welcome. Reaching Heights actively recruits blocks of volunteers from community organizations – religious congregations, colleges and universities, businesses and civic groups to participate.
