STEPTutoring

Tutoring at Bruce Monroe @ ParkView Elementary school meets the first three Thursdays of each month during the school year. The program begins with a simple, nutritious dinner at 6PM, and ends at 8PM after a character lesson. STEPdc depends on partners including local churches and other volunteers, to provide dinner at the start of each session. Click here for more information about providing a meal for STEPTutoring.

Our tutoring curriculum focuses on critical thinking, reading, vocabulary development, writing and reading comprehension skills. Our belief is that focusing on these skills increases the student’s ability to perform well both in the classroom and on standardized tests. Developing these skills builds common sense and helps students make informed choices that affect every aspect of their lives. Ultimately, the program provides children with a mentor and educator who encourages them to enjoy learning and realize their full academic potential.

An important part of our tutoring program is an ongoing discussion of character values. Students read age appropriate books highlighting positive character traits and watch a presentation each evening that reinforces the lesson with stories of Bible figures. The goal is to teach morals and help students distinguish between beneficial and harmful behavior. The focus of the lessons is on making good choices and understanding the consequences that these choices have on the students and those around them. Our expectation is that they will be more likely to make positive life choices and avoid negative behavior.
