Newton Public Schools seeks adults to join its School Volunteers program to tutor students in Grades 2-5 in basic mathematics concepts for 30-45 minutes each week.  This includes playing special math games that reinforce skills and help students gain confidence and competence.   Read Steve Siegel’s account of his experience as a Newton Schools Volunteer.  Volunteers may select a school, grade, day of the week, and time.  They are trained in Everyday Math materials and receive ongoing support.  No teaching experience is needed.  For more information, please contact Ellen Bender at 617-559-6131 or ellen_bender@newton.k12.ma.us.
