Tutoring Mathematics

Catalog description

This course gives math education majors an early practicum experience working with secondary-level students. We hope that participants will discover whether or not they really want to pursue a secondary education degree. During this practicum experience, participants will tutor secondary students, discuss and use "best" practices in tutoring, improve their presentation skills, and prepare for the Praxis Exam requirement. Students will visit local schools for 2 hours each week between the hours of 8:30 am and 3:30 pm outside of the weekly class meeting. Travel time and school schedules need to be considered in the students' planning for these visits. Students are responsible for arranging their transportation.
