1A. Urban Fellowship Program -BOETTCHER TEACHERS PROGRAM

Established in 2003, the Boettcher Teachers Program is a dual licensure and master's degree fellowship designed to prepare a highly-skilled workforce of professional educators who make a difference in the individual lives of low-income students and communities and the schools that serve them. Boettcher Teaching Fellows are specially trained and endorsed to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students, and earn a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Denver, as well as a Colorado teaching license from the Colorado Department of Education.

The program takes five years to complete, and fellows are awarded full tuition in exchange for a commitment to teach in low-income schools in the metro Denver area. In the first year of the program, the teacher residency year, fellows receive a living stipend and complete licensure requirements. In years two through five, they are full-time, salaried teachers. By the end of year two, fellows have earned their master's degree; and by the end of year five, they have satisfied their teaching service obligation.

This is an exciting program, which is already making a positive difference in urban schools in the Denver area.

For further information: contact the Program Coordinator, Deborah Barton, at the Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC): 303-861-8661, or email her with questions at bured@du.edu.

2A. UW-Madison Workplace Skills Tutoring Program- Tutor Volunteer Opportunity

 The UW-Madison Workplace Skills Tutoring Program is currently looking for volunteer tutors.  Some of the learner's native languages include Spanish, Hmong and Tibetan.  Although speaking these languages is not a requirement to be a tutor, students with knowledge of the language are welcome to apply. Tutors are not required to have any teaching experience or understanding of the learner language or culture.  Our brief tutor training will prepare you to work with an employee, one-to-one. The short training will be conducted in group or individually depending on the number of volunteers we get at any particular time.  We will provide ongoing support, including tutoring resources and consultation by phone, email and in-person.  One of our most important roles is to provide tutors with the support they need to be successful with learners.

Tutor/learner pairs work for one or two hours per week at convenient locations on or off campus.  The ultimate decision about tutoring location is decided by the pair themselves.

We would like you to commit to a minimum of a semester with the program.  However, we know that this is volunteer work and your schedule may change or the match does not work out and we are open to a shorter time commitment.

If you are interested to volunteer with this program, please visit our website, http://www.ohrd.wisc.edu, and click on Cultural Linguistic Services Tutoring Program for more information or contact:
