Dear Oklahoma Family,
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is continuing the statewide
virtual tutoring initiative. The Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps will provide students in the
7th and 8th grades with real-time, virtual tutoring support from live tutors beginning on
October 6, 2024. Participating students will meet virtually with a tutor for 50 minutes
three times a week over a period of ten weeks. All tutoring will occur outside of school
hours. The goal of the Math Tutoring Corps is to give students opportunities for
individualized, targeted learning of math processes and problems needed for success in
their current and future math coursework.
The program will run from October 6 – December 14, 2024. Tutors will be certified
teachers who have received training for this initiative. The OSDE will make every effort
to group tutors and students from the same geographical area. To provide focused and
consistent attention to your student, each tutor will work with no more than four
students. Students will remain together with the same tutor throughout the ten weeks.
Families and guardians will be copied on all communication from the tutor to the
student.
The OSDE is asking participating students and families to agree to the following:
• Student will attend at least 80% of the 30 tutoring sessions.
• Student will have a quiet place to join the sessions virtually.
• Student will actively participate with the tutor during tutoring sessions.
Once the OSDE receives your information, they will work with you to determine any
technology needs to ensure your student can participate successfully.
Learn more about the Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps program by accessing the OSDE
webpage. If you have questions about this program, contact Shanda Finnell,
Administrative Assistant, (Shanda.finnell@sde.ok.gov).
