3056-20 - Tutoring Program for English Language Learners

The Aurora Public Schools (APS) is looking for a partner organization to provide tutoring services to English Language Learners identified by the APS Welcome Center during the school year of 2020-2021. All students identified for the program will be Entering or Emerging level language learners (Non-English Proficient) at different grade levels from 1st-12th, representing many different cultures. We are looking for a partner organization that has experience working with English Language Learners and their families. The partner organization may choose to do individual tutoring or small group tutoring while taking into consideration COVID-19 safety measures. The tutoring can be in person, online or a hybrid model.  All tutoring needs to take place outside of regular school hours and off the school premises. However, the partner organization should be mindful of the fact that many students may not have their own transportation to community sites. Each student in the program should receive at least one hour of tutoring per week that is supportive of the student’s learning in his or her regular classroom.
