[Biostudent] Volunteer with K-12 Students and Earn Credit Through EDUC 260/401

[BIOLOGY]

Hello!



Want to volunteer with K-12 students and earn credit? The Community Engagement and Leadership Education (CELE) Center offers courses for UW students to earn academic credit while volunteering in K-12 schools! If you are interested in educational equity and gaining direct-service experience working with K-12 students, then we encourage you to enroll in our courses. Our courses are variable credit, count towards the ELS and Leadership minors, and are graded CR/NC. To get started, consider registering for the below classes on MyPlan:



EDUC 260: Equity Issues in K-12 Education (1 credit)

When: Mondays, 11:30 am-12:50 pm

Modality: In-Person

EDUC 260 is a community-engaged course designed to prepare University of Washington students for a mentoring and tutoring relationship with K-12 students at local partner schools, either in an academic tutor or a post-secondary planning capacity. The course's purpose is to strengthen student consciousness of self, of others, and community to be applied to practice.

*Pre/co-requisite course for EDUC 401



EDUC 401 A/B: Practicum in Community Service Activity (1-6 credits)

When: A Section BIWEEKLY on Wednesdays, 11:30 am-12:50 pm

           B Section BIWEEKLY on Wednesdays, 4:00 pm-5:20 pm

Modality: In-Person

EDUC 401 A and B are CELE community-engaged courses designed to prepare University of Washington students for an academic tutoring or mentoring relationship with K-12 students at local partner K-12 schools. Students will be matched with a volunteer site, or can choose their own site, and will volunteer on a weekly basis. Tutors will build teaching and academic support skills through coursework and in-person volunteering. EDUC 401 classes are meant for tutors to reflect on their direct community engagement experience. Credit is earned through attendance, assignments, and the completion of required service hours (to be fulfilled through tutoring at schools and professional development sessions).

*Co-registration in 260 required for all first-time 401 A/B students



EDUC 401 C: Practicum in Community Service Activity (1-6 credits)

When: Online, Thursday 11:30 am - 12:50 pm

Modality: Virtual

EDUC 401 C is for returning tutors and mentors. Students must have taken and passed EDUC 401 A or B and EDUC 260. First class session meets sychronously online, and subsequent sessions are asychronous online. Tutors/mentors will either continue the same volunteer site placement they have done previously, or choose a new volunteer site. Assignments expand on previous 401 A/B material and focus on advanced reflection topics and in-depth issues in K-12 education. Credit is earned through attendance, assignments, and the completion of required service hours (to be fulfilled through tutoring at schools and professional development sessions).

*Pre-requisite: EDUC 260 and EDUC 401A/B
