Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» education students provide math tutoring in partnership with C.O. Harrison Elementary School.
Eight years ago, C.O. Harrison Elementary School Principal, Brian Conners approached Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» about creating a partnership together to have MSJ students come to C.O. Harrison to help with literacy tutoring. Now, this initiative has recently blossomed into a math tutoring partnership.
“It has always been my focus to try to partner up with the universities because when I went through school at Northern Kentucky University, we did something similar with Covington Holmes High School," Conners tells Cincy Magazine. "And I got the most out of that experience,” he says. “[However], I’ve never had the opportunity to have such a close university right in the backyard that could do that.”
Thus, the math class is the first practicum for the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s dual license students, who are working on degrees or licensure for teaching in both elementary and special education. Nearly 100 sophomore MSJ education students come to C.O. Harrison twice a week.
According to the article, while the program has been a success, Conners sees additional ways for Oak Hills Local School District and the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» to partner together. The MSJ football has even attended C.O. Harrison twice a year so far to read books with the second grade children.
