PART ONE: Setting the stage

WEEK 1—

 Class 1 (Tues. 1/18) and Class 2 (Thurs. 1/20): Course introduction

Coordinators from after-school programs, where students will tutor/mentor/volunteer this

semester, will visit during classes 1 and 2 to describe their sites and answer questions about

volunteering. During classes 1 and 2 we’ll also cover all course logistics, including course

requirements, grading, and attendance policies.
Each student will also choose a field site at the

end of Class 2.

WEEK 2—

Your first field note is due Friday of this week (1/28 by midnight) and should be based on your

first visit this week to your after-school site.
