Are you not sure if teaching is the right career path for you? Do you want some experience with children? Enjoy volunteering your time to help students?
If any of these apply to you, then enroll in the America Reads Internship Program!
America Reads allows students from SUNY Brockport to interact with children in the Brockport Central School district (grades K-6). With this internship program you can gain experience working with children, interacting with teachers, and it will also strengthen your résumé for that future teaching position you hope to land. America Reads is the only internship program that freshmen are eligible to participate in and the internship can be paid or volunteer, based on your work study status. You will only get paid if you have work study, otherwise it is solely voluntary service.
***If you are eligible for work study, the starting pay is $8.00 an hour***
Basic qualifications are: minimum 2.5 GPA, and your availability must be between regular school day hours (7:30am-3:30pm). Students must be able to tutor a minimum of 6 hours a week.
If you are chosen as a tutor for America Reads, you must enroll in the class EDI360, which is an upper-division elective credit course. The course content includes weekly meetings, reflective journals, case studies, and term papers. You may only receive a maximum of 6 credits for the program (3 for 2 semesters).
Tutors have a main responsibility assisting the Brockport School District by providing services to students in grades K-6, however there may be other responsibilities assigned to the tutor. Responsibilities may include: correcting papers, monitoring and maintaining discipline, clerical duties, or duties assigned by other faculty members.
