CEISMC Mentoring Program

Programs

     All programs under the CEISMC Mentoring Program operate with a similar goal:  to provide tutors and mentors for schools in the Atlanta area.  In general, tutors and mentors are assigned to particular students and are asked to assist them with their studies.  In general, the tutor will work with individual students or a small group of students.  The idea is for tutors and mentors to work with the same children throughout the academic year in order to forge a strong "learning partnership".  As such, the ultimate goal is for the tutors and mentors to provide both academic and mentoring support- which is why they are called tutors AND mentors.  The following descriptions will highlight some of the differences and similarities among the programs:

All Kids Count in Atlanta Math Tutoring Program  (AKC)

 

Program Manager:

        Taneisha Lee

 

School Coordinators:

         Victoria Au, Sarah Adams, AiLien Vuong

 

     All Kids Count in Atlanta is a program that seeks to improve mathematics education in the Atlanta Public School System.  A part of the "America Counts" national program, All Kids Count works with elementary, middle and high schools. Utilizing Georgia Tech Federal Work-Study students, the program provides assistance for “at risk” students requiring remedial help and “high achieving” students who can benefit from mathematical explorations beyond their classroom experiences.

     One important objective is to help students in these grades prepare for their standardized tests taken in the spring.  This year we will work with Carver High School, Centennial Place Elementary, Fickett Elementary, Herndon Elementary,  Kennedy Middle and Therell High School.

     Tutoring takes place at the school locations mostly during the school day (8AM - 3PM). There is also an option to work with students on Saturday during a weekly half-day Saturday Academy (~9 AM - 12 PM).  First semester freshman are encouraged to participate in the Saturday Program as it is an opportunity to introduce yourself to tutoring without a significant commitment to the program.

     All Kids Count tutors work on a one-on-one basis, small group basis and also provide assistance inside the classroom. Tutors will receive training on building a relationship with a student, teaching skills, learning styles, and cultural considerations.

 

Pathways into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)        

Program Manager:          

           Taneisha Lee 

 

School Coordinators:        

           Jewell Foster, David Barnes, Leonette Lee and Lisa French          

 

     The Pathways into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program partners with:

          The New Schools at Carver -

                School of Health Science and Research

                School of Technology

          South Atlanta High School -

               School of Computer Animation and Design

               School of Health and Medical Sciences

          Therrell High School -

               School of Health Sciences and Research

     The high school juniors and seniors chosen for the Pathways into STEM Program are paired with a college mentor for a 1:1 enrichment and tutorial sessions during the school day each week.  In addition to mentoring sessions, students participating in the program meet weekly after school to attend classes and acquire skills that will translate into success at the post-secondary level.  The afterschool projects include building a VEX Robot, developing a service project and preparing for college and scholarship applications.
