 "CLP has opened my eyes to issues I have never really thought about, and given me a new way of viewing issues in education. I feel like I am a better informed citizen after taking this class." -- CLP student For more information, contact

Orientation and Training
Initial orientation for working with
children
is supplemented by training at the schools where students volunteer,
through the CLP reader and site-specific texts, through ongoing
mentoring by
classroom teachers, and through optional focus
workshops
offered through the UW
Pipeline. Throughout the quarter, CLP students
have
access to online
resources for tutoring, and work closely with UW's Education
Librarian to locate curriculum and research resources. The CLP
curriculum
features ongoing discussion and problem-solving during class meetings,
individual discussions with the instructor, and ongoing mentoring by
the CLP Head Tutors both in class and at the CLP partner schools. "The
effect
volunteering has
had on me is tremendous. I am now sure that I want to be an
elementary
school teacher. I have learned a lot about one-on-one tutoring
and
how to teach basic math. The kids I work with benefit because
they
get more one-on-one help and someone who is interested in them and in
what
they are doing."--CLP Student,
Junior, English and Math
