Saga Education is a national leader in high-impact, in-school tutoring. We leverage the power of human capital and technology to accelerate student outcomes and foster educational excellence for students. Our AmeriCorps members are selected from a competitive group of individuals from various backgrounds across the United States to serve our students as math tutors; each tutor brings their unique skill set to assist students¿ success. We seek talented, caring, and capable people committed to supporting our students in their academic and social development. Through this service year opportunity, our tutors develop leadership skills, participate in professional development workshops, engage in public speaking, and much more. This is a positive learning experience not only for our students but for our tutors as well! Saga Education¿s AmeriCorps Member Leadership Fellows manage a small caseload of middle or high school students and promote academic success by focusing intently on providing high-dosage, high-impact tutoring that includes daily individualized instruction to students during their year of service. During a typical school day, Leadership Fellows will tutor students and facilitate lessons for half of the school day during a minimum of 3 class periods. In the second half of the day, Leadership Fellows will support students in the room who are not directly working with a remote tutor, facilitating small group activities, independent practice, assessments, or high-rigor math games. Leadership Fellows will implement Saga¿s proprietary curriculum to foster academic success and help students reach their goals. In addition to offering academic support, Leadership Fellows will serve as advocates and mentors for building strong and meaningful relationships with their students. Leadership Fellows will serve as leaders at their sites, supporting Site Directors on day-to-day responsibilities focused on supporting students directly, as designated by their site.
