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, Georgia Tech tutors 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 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 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

     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 in Atlanta works with elementary, middle and high schools. Utilizing 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 late spring.  This year we will work with Bethune Elementary, Centennial Place Elementary, Herndon Elementary, E. Rivers Elementary, Kennedy Middle, Sylvan Hills Middle School, South Atlanta High School and Therell High School.

     Tutoring takes place at the school locations during the school day (8AM - 3PM)  All Kids Count tutors work on a one-on-one basis or a small group basis. Tutors will receive training on building a relationship with a student, teaching skills, learning styles, and cultural considerations.

     The Pathways into Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (SMET) program has three components: Mentoring, Tutoring and After-school Clubs.

     All components will take place at The New Schools at Carver in the Atlanta Public School System. There will be approximately 200 students participating in the tutoring program and 150 students participating in the mentoring program.

     Mentors will work one-on-one with 9th through 11th grade students and will assist them primarily in building character and life skills.  They also assist with academic classes as needed.  Mentors meet with their students once a week during the school day.  Mentors will also interact with students in monthly recreational activities and Saturday activities at Georgia Tech.

     Academic Day tutors will work with 9th through 11th grade students in Algebra 1, Biology or Geometry. Support will be provided in a small group with between a 1:1 and 1:3 ratio and tutors will work with the same students throughout the school year.  Tutoring takes place during the school day.

     Students will also have the option of participating in clubs sponsored and facilitated by Georgia Tech students.  Currently there is a Chess Club, Health Occupation Students of America, Digital Media and Robotics (FIRST and LEGO). Clubs meet at lease once a week for 1.5 hours after school.
