[Time2000_t21 0071] CUNY Tutor Corps
by Naomi Weinman 31 Jul '19

CUNY Tutor Corps is looking for tutors. WHO WE ARE The CUNY Tutor Corps brings current CUNY students who are studying math, computer science, technology and education into NYC public middle and high schools to provide one-on-one and small group instruction and support classroom teachers. We are looking for college students who want to improve math and computer science education, inspire young people to pursue careers in STEM and investigate public school teaching as a possible career choice. We pay tutors $17 per hour to spend approximately 12 hours per week in math and computer science classrooms. The program’s aim is to reduce barriers to STEM academic and professional achievement and to improve the confidence, academic performance, and college and career readiness of CUNY Tutors and NYC DOE students. Through our mission, we actively raise our awareness of the manifestations of racism and privilege in our own lives, in the systems we create and support, and in our culture. We work as a team to dismantle and reorganize the systems that support racism and privilege. As such, we provide our tutors with opportunities to engage in dialogues centered around these themes, and how they affect their lives. We additionally support our tutors with workshops focused on pedagogy and career development to further build their professional skillset.

Please see info from the Museum of Mathematics, below. Mrs. Weinman Dear Naomi, I wanted to bring the following program, appropriate for preservice teachers or for students contemplating a career in math education, to your attention: Math Progressions Are you considering becoming a math educator or getting more involved in math outreach? MoMath is now offering a special opportunity to participate in an eight-week professional development program, Math Progressions, this summer. Discuss classroom best practices and learn about pedagogical topics such as fixed versus growth mindsets, setting expectations, handling difficult situations, and increasing student engagement. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to practice your skills in a group setting using creative math sessions focused on cryptography, geometry, graph theory, probability, and topology. Classes will meet Friday mornings from July 19 through September 6, from 8:00 am to 9:30 am; the program registration fee is $500. To apply, please email the following three items to progressions(a)momath.org<mailto:progressions@momath.org>: a cover letter; a current résumé, including grade point averages; and a 150- to 500-word statement describing your views on mathematics or a life experience you have had related to mathematics. Accepted applicants will be notified within 48 hours. Tuition discounts may be available for those with demonstrated financial need. Although the first class has already run, we might be able to run a make-up session; alternatively, we plan to repeat the course in the fall. Please don’t hesitate to share this information with your students or to let me know if you have additional questions. Regards, Cindy
