I have decided to choose a tutorial program for my Community partner. The tutorial program was established through a Notre Dame de Namur Professor, Dr. Ferrera. The tutorial program works specifically with Bel Air Elementary School in San Bruno, Ca. The program was established to help the school overcome their current situation. Currently, the school is facing the possible loss of funding due to the students' low test scores and lack of substantial progress. They are currently not complying with the regulations and requirements that need to be met in order to receive funding.
The tutoring program hopes to fulfill the needs of the school in order to get Bel Air and its students on the right track. The tutoring program is also a class offered here at Notre Dame de Namur for liberal arts majors or those considering going into the teaching field. Bel Air is considered to be a "lab school" where undergraduates can get a better sense of how to teach and what the children respond to. Ultimately, the program is accountable to the school itself. It works in conjunction with the after-school program at Bel Air, and uses the resources and technologies that the school provides.
