This is a program that enables students to serve as aides to an elementary classroom teacher (K-
12) by tutoring individual pupils, working with small groups of pupils, and performing other
classroom duties. The program is designed to give the student an insight into the field of education.
Since the number of applications may exceed the openings available, those students who are
most highly recommended will be considered first. This program is suitable for students interested
in becoming teachers. Unless the student chooses to work in an elementary
classroom at the Whitfield elementary school, it is the responsibility of the parent to provide the
student’s transportation to and from the fieldsite as a driver or as a passenger. This class meets for
two periods An application packet may be obtained in the Counseling Office.
