Duties or Responsibilities:

• Work with pairs of students (fourth through eighth grade) who need extra support with math during the school day. Tutors are trained to use a variety of scripted Minnesota Math Corps strategies, called interventions, to build students’ foundational math skills in numbers and operations. Tutors work with the same student pairs for a total of 90 minutes each week.
• Conduct quick and easy math assessments regularly, and enter the student data into an online data system. Tutors review student data with their internal coach (site-based math specialist) to monitor the progress of each student and modify their intervention strategy to
• meet each student’s needs.
• Maintain confidentiality of all student data.
• Attend three days of mandatory training prior to service with students and additional required training sessions throughout the year. Tutors receive the consistent support of a coach at their school. Some travel may be necessary to attend training.
• Participate in school-sponsored activities such as book fairs and family nights.
• While the majority of service hours are completed onsite during school hours, most tutors engage in additional community service, which may take place during evening and weekend hours.
