Job Posting: Director of Marketing and Communications
About North Carolina Education Corps
North Carolina Education Corps (NCEC) was launched in September 2020 by the North Carolina State Board of Education and Office of the Governor to connect caring adults to support students in North Carolina’s public schools. Now as an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, we eliminate barriers to student opportunity by connecting caring adults to support students in evidence-based ways; we are focused on partnering with schools to recruit, train, and coach “corps members” to support students as high-impact tutors.
Why high-impact tutors? High-impact tutoring is an evidence-based approach to extending the reach of teachers and accelerating student learning, and high-impact literacy and math tutors are needed now more than ever. Prior to the pandemic, for example, data showed that only 36% of North Carolina’s fourth graders could read at or above grade level. Following the pandemic, the situation is worse – and teachers don’t have time to provide the small group instruction that turbocharges student growth.
As high-impact tutors, NCEC corps members provide targeted 1-on-1 to 1-on-3 tutoring to students, 3 times per week, 30 minutes per session, in-person, at-school, during the school day to accelerate student growth. We know 1-on-1 and small group tutoring has worked for students for thousands of years. We are making high-impact tutors available to more students – especially those most affected by the pandemic – starting by connecting caring adults to help K-3 students learn to read.
