ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP
Duties
ASU students will be working one on one with Gililland Middle School students on a vareity of core subjects to supplement the instruction that exists during the school day. In addition, ASU students will discuss college life and experiences to get middle school students ready for high school and beyond. Each tutor/mentor would choose one day a week or more (Monday - Wednesday) to tutor/mentor. The tutoring time would start at 2:30 - 3:30.
Population served
GMS is a Title I school. We take great pride that our school is a "B" and "Performing Plus School" according to the Arizona Department of Education. We have a population of 1,060 students. Our school is very diverse serving Hispanic/Latinos, African American, Caucasians, Pacific Islanders, and Asian students. Our school is composed of 85 percent free and reduced lunch.
Our students are fantastic! They are extremely enthusiastic and care tremendously about their learning, growth, and success!
Community need/impact
Our students are always looking for a mentor / role model at Gililland Middle School. Our ultimate goal is to continue to have high expectations and set goals to achieve excellence in school and in life. We want students to get excited and be enthusiastic about middle school, high school, and college.
By establishing a tutor / mentor program at GMS by Arizona State University, students would be able to talk with students about experiences and challenges about school and life. In addition, ASU students would be able to help with academics such as homework, daily work, reading, writing, etc.
At GMS, we are a T.E.A.M. - Together Everyone Achieves More. The more we work together, the higher our growth, achievement, and the ability to obstain excellence withour school.
Gililland Middle School is always looking for opportunities to partner with ASU since the campus is almost in our "back yard." Tutoring our middle school students would be beneficial towards the academic growth and success. Also, serving as a mentor to our students creates connections. An ASU student would have the ability to provide examples, experiences, and stories that a middle school student can relate to overcome challenges and obstacles that they face everyday.
