MN Math Corps at Falcon Ridge

Falcon Ridge has been awarded a Minnesota Math Corps tutor! We will have one part-time Math Enrichment Tutor next year, who will work with students who need more support to catch up to grade level in math. Math Corps tutors are AmeriCorps members and do not replace teachers. Every year, the program sees real growth in its students.

We are recruiting now for our Math Enrichment Tutor, who will serve at our school for 11 months, beginning in August. In exchange for their service, tutors receive a stipend of about $242 biweekly (part-time) and an education award of $2,822 (part-time) to use towards their own schooling. Tutors implement a research-based curriculum to pairs of 4th – 5th graders who are just below proficiency in math (Tier II children). They tutor students daily in 45 minute sessions to grow their skills towards becoming algebra-ready by eighth grade. Math Corps provides our school with the expertise of an outside math consultant (Master Coach) who provides support and oversight by visiting the school regularly.
