My Project

After school tutoring provides our Multilingual Learners with the extra time to continue their studies, get extra help, and get to know each other in a more informal environment. The Multilingual Learners want to learn English and do well in school. However, by the end of the day, many students don't want to stay after school because they are hungry, or they are tired and want to go home. However, by providing snacks for these students after school, this will be an incentive for the students to stay for tutoring. During after school tutoring, students have various needs, so the rolling desk will allow me to get to the students around the classroom to help them with their assignments.

I also want to provide a reward system to help encourage more participation in after school tutoring.

I want to use these punch cards where students will be rewarded for attending tutoring. This will encourage students to continue to come to tutoring. I will also provide an area with privacy desk dividers where students can work quietly if they want to. The privacy desk dividers can also be used to allow our Multilingual Learners to practice their speaking skills in a more private environment where they feel less self conscious.

I also know that after school, the students may need a break during tutoring, so they can get to know one another in a fun way through games like Stitch, Jenga, or Uno to encourage more informal conversations.
