Scholar Coach - In Classroom Support

Position Summary

Students who read have the power to succeed, and we’re on a mission to make sure every student is a strong reader! 

Join the Total Learning Classroom Initiative of Reading Corps as a Scholar Coach and you’ll spend your days at a local school helping students improve their skills and ignite a love of learning. We’ll train you to deliver proven activities and coach you every step of the way!  

How does it work? As part of a “home” classroom, you’ll partner with a teacher to build reading skills and engagement. You’ll also spend part of each day meeting with students individually or in pairs for 20 minutes of reading practice. When your time together is up, you’ll help your student(s) return to their classroom(s) and pick up your next student(s) for tutoring. You’ll repeat until all your students are served. 

With the extra attention and support, incredible growth happens. As your students build their skills and confidence, you’ll be there to encourage, celebrate, and cheer them on!
