1.
The undergraduates must tutor five hours per week on a regular
schedule for the entire semester (for example, Monday and
Wednesday mornings, from 9:00 to 11:30). They are required
to tutor a minimum of 50 hours per semester.
The
undergraduates work during the regular school day, and they
must sign in and sign out for
each tutoring session in an Attendance Book that
is kept in the central office of the elementary school.
There are no excused absences.
2. At mid-semester, the college faculty member responsible
for the course provides the National Education Project with
a one-page report showing the precise number of hours of
tutoring produced up to that point by the undergraduates.
These numbers are drawn from the Attendance Book
that is kept in the school principal's office.
3. At the end of each semester, the college faculty member
sends to the National Education Project an End-of-Semester
Report, which contains several major elements:
a.
A copy of the course Syllabus and the course Bibliography
developed by the college faculty member for this course
and used during the semester;
b. The End-of-Semester Report of Hours of Tutoring
Produced, which shows the precise number of hours
of tutoring produced by the undergraduates during the
previous semester;
c. Copies of the Classroom Teacher's One-Page, End-of-Semester
Evaluation Form, which the classroom teachers use
to measure the advances of the children in reading, writing,
and mathematics during the previous semester; and
d. A statement which responds to an outline provided by
the National Education Project and which describes the
general operation of the course during the previous semester.
4. Under the terms of the contract with The National Education
Project, Inc., the college receives the first grant payment
before the beginning of the first semester of the five-year/10-semester
$50,000 grant.
Payment
for each of the following nine semesters is made prior to
the start of each semester but only if the Project has received
all required end-of-semester reports for the previous semester
from the college.
