Title
Approval by the Board of Education of a Memorandum of Understanding between the District and We Teach Science (WTS) Foundation. WTS aims to inspire K-12 students to excel in math and science. WTS believes students' interest and corresponding academic achievement in math and science can be dramatically improved when they work long-term with a science, technology, engineering and math ("STEM") mentor who has a love for the student. In line with this belief, WTS has developed a Remote Tutoring and Mentoring Program ("the Program"). The Program pairs struggling students with mentors from STEM professions as math tutors. The student and mentors meet once a week for one hour during the school day via web-based, interactive whiteboards and audio visual connection software. WTS and the District desire to work together to execute the Program in Castlemont High School, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Castlemont High school agrees to purchase headsets for students, as needed.
