College students needed for paid summer Tennessee Tutoring Corps

College students needed for summer Tennessee Tutoring Corps In an effort to prevent summer learning loss, 1,000 college students or recent grads are wanted for paid tutoring positions for elementary students across the state. Author: Shannon Smith Updated: 12:06 AM EDT April 20, 2021 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The summer slide is a real problem for young students. That s when they forget what they learned in school while on summer break, then struggle when the return to the classroom in the next grade.  It s even more of an issue with the pandemic. I think we all realize that last spring s learning wasn t optimal, and the more we can get kids in live contact with adults, the better, said former governor Bill Haslam in July 2020.

Tennessee Tutoring Corps returns for second year to tackle learning loss

By the end of the program, students in grades K through second demonstrated the equivalent of about a third of a year of academic growth. Across all grades, and in both English language arts and math, students who were performing lower at the beginning of the program showed significant growth over the course of the summer.  Now the Haslams hope to build on lessons learned last summer and expand the program in the coming months. “We launched this program last year to address the ‘summer slide,’ a very real problem each year that was made significantly worse by students being out of school for so long because of COVID-19,” Bill Haslam said in a statement.
