The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is continuing the statewide virtual math tutoring initiative. The Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps will provide students in the grades 7, 8, and 9 with real-time, virtual tutoring support from live tutors beginning on October 6, 2024. Participating students will meet virtually with a tutor for 50 minutes three times a week over a period of ten weeks. All tutoring will occur outside of school hours. The goal of the Math Tutoring Corps is to give students opportunities for individualized, targeted learning of math processes and practice needed for success in their current and future math coursework.
This year, OSDE is accommodating approximately 600 students in grades 7 , 8, and 9. The program will run from October 6 – December 14, 2024. If you have students who would benefit from this program, please share this flyer and math invitation with families for enrollment information.
Tutors will be certified teachers who have received training for this initiative. The OSDE will make every effort to group tutors and students from the same geographical area. To provide focused and consistent attention to your student, each tutor will work with no more than four students. Students will remain together with the same tutor throughout the ten weeks. Families and guardians will be copied on all communication from the tutor to the student.
The OSDE is asking participating students and families to agree to the following:
-
Students will attend at least 80% of the 30 tutoring sessions.
-
Students will have a quiet place to join the sessions virtually.
-
Students will actively participate with the tutor during tutoring sessions.
Once the OSDE receives student information, we will work with families to determine any technology needs to ensure students can participate successfully.
