Literacy Volunteers of America Jobs in Missouri at AmeriCorps
Laclede Literacy Council provides services to adults who wish to increase their literacy levels in a variety of areas to include: reading, writing, digital, and job readiness skills. Our council offers one-on-one tutoring for adults in all these areas of literacy. The program is an each one, teach one program that trains anyone to become a tutor. The position requires collaboration and communication with team members and students. it requires metacognitive skills, which allow a tutor to think about how they learn a fact and then share that process with others. Each tutor must be creative when developing lesson plans. This creative approach allows for planning for the way each student learns, matching their strengths and stretching their weaknesses every lesson.
Member Duties : Members will work closely with staff to evaluate the preassessment testing and develop a learning plan for each student. Members will communicate and coordinate with their peers to ensure a compatible tutor is assigned to each student. The tutor and the student will set individual goals and timelines. Members will use research-based materials and creative thinking skills to develop lessons appropriate for each adult. Critical thinking skills are required to determine the frequency and duration of lessons. Computer skills are required to complete the lessons. Post-assessment will occur after 20 sessions, then the member and staff will assess the materials, the scope and sequence, and the methods used in tutoring lessons to decide if any changes are needed. Members will also be asked to serve in our community to not only help our community, but also promote AmeriCorps as an important volunteer organization in the community.
