On Friday I met Cheryl Benson, the building chairperson for the NCHS math department. What uses are there for a person willing to provide free math tutoring to high school students?
On an individual basis, some have occasionally been stationed in the library for walk-in assistance. Referrals may also come through school counselors, who can distinguish between students who are trying but struggling and those who are not trying and struggling. Teachers also hand out final exam review packets which a capable person could help with.
On a group basis, there are ACT prep classes coming up in April, a couple of which are math-related. There is also need for substitute teachers. Nowadays substitute teaching credentials are satisfied by my bachelor's degree. Teachers who are tapped for duty meet with the building chair in the morning to review the lesson plan and get comfortable with it.
Curious possibilities here. I'll talk with Cheryl and my other NCHS pals this week to figure out the next move.
