Community Partners:Ethel I. Baker 

Project Description: Students in EDBM 170 are required to tutor an individual student who is an English Learner for 10 sessions during their semester. They keep a log of their visits, learn about their student, support their learning by communicating with the head teacher. This class is a prerequisite to all students entering the education field, and also includes students from other majors such as Social Science, History, PE, etc. It is important that they be given some latitude to apply several strategies that they will learn in my class: for example, how to do an Interactive Journal to promote student writing. It is preferable that the English Learner be at a beginning or Early Intermediate Level, but this is not an ironclad rule since many Intermediate level students can benefit greatly from individualized tutoring. As the professor, I will monitor the journal entries and in class help them problem solve how to best meet the language, academic and social needs of their student.
