Want to gain hands-on experience working 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 tutoring in K-12 schools and/or mentoring! 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.



It's not too late to enroll! To get started, consider registering for the below classes on MyPlan:



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

When: Mondays, 1:00 pm-2:20 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 401B classes are meant for students to reflect on their direct community engagement experience. *If you are already mentoring or tutoring and would like to earn credit for those hours, you should inquire about self-placement! 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
