Literacy Tutoring
Each teacher utilizes three to four volunteers at specified times each week, all school year, to assist students, one-on-one or in a small group, with literacy skills such as reading and writing. No prior experience is needed as we will train you.
Most volunteers support students in literacy through a technique called Guided Reading, after attending an RCP training session. Math support is also an option, determined by teacher request. Volunteers supporting math will receive training in Common Core techniques in order to best support classroom curriculum. Ravenswood Classroom Partners does not introduce curriculum, rather we support existing district curriculum and follow teacher direction. Interested in volunteering? Sign up and volunteer. We look forward to supporting you in the classroom.

Marion McGregorWhy does Marion choose to volunteer with RCP?
“I always believed that all children deserve an equal opportunity to learn. RCP is trying very hard to improve the challenges that the students from East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park are experiencing. Ravenswood Classroom Partners is an association which brings not only support and care, but also kindness to the students and helps them grow academically and emotionally.” |

Fenella LeightonWhy does Fenella Leighton give her time to support students at Costaño School?
“I’ve supported my own children throughout their school life. When my last child graduated from high school I wanted to stay involved in local schools and give back to the community. Volunteering with Ravenswood Classroom Partners is a wonderfully uplifting experience.” |
