Mr. Coleman, 2nd grade teacher at Prairie Elementary, will be offering two valuable learning opportunities during the 2015 Summer. One-on-One Tutoring and my Coleman’s Camp Enrichment Program are both underway. I meet with students at Corinth Library (81st and Mission Road). More detailed information is below:
Tutoring:
I meet with student in Individualized one-hour sessions to maintain present skills during the summer and to prepare for the upcoming school year by addressing current academic and motivational/self-esteem struggles. Shawnee Mission curriculum and materials are used, along with district and research-based intervention materials, all correlating to content students will see in the upcoming school year. Frequently we work through the daily (or distributive) work from the first quarter. This strategy ensures student comprehension, confidence, and skills are bolstered as concepts introduced to the class during the start of the year are already well practiced by the tutored student. With parent permission, I can also meet with each student's teacher to collect test data, information on strengths and struggles, and learning goals. Some of the specific skills I can focus on include:
· Reading (phonics, decoding, comprehension, accuracy, motivation)
· Math (computation, problem solving, accuracy)
· Study skills and organization
· Test preparation (classroom tests, basic skills, state assessments)
· Writing skills (handwriting, sentence, paragraph and paper writing)
SUMMER 2015 Schedule for One-on-One Tutoring (1 hour sessions):
Thursdays 10:00-3:00
Saturdays 1:00-5:00
Saturdays 1:00-5:00
Coleman’s Camp Enrichment Program:
Small groups of students meet as a specialized class to study, explore, and interact with their own learning process in highly individualized and personal ways. The two-hour sessions aim toward mastery of grade-level curriculum taught in Shawnee Mission classrooms but also provide a pervasive environment and cross-pollination of wisdom, art, humor, music, and high quality endeavors.
Coleman’s Camp is an innovative tutoring and enrichment program utilizing a decade of classroom experience at nearly every grade level as well as training in administration, special education, and research-based practices to create a weekly enrichment and support camp for elementary-aged children.
SUMMER 2015 Schedule for Coleman's Camp (2 hour sessions):
Thursdays 4:00-6:00
Saturdays 10:00-12:00
