"A word as to the education of the heart. We don't believe that this can be imparted through books; it can only be imparted through the loving touch of the teacher." --Cesar E. ChavezCesar
Chavez believed in education and felt strongly that education developed our youth. He was born to parents who taught him the importance of hard work, respect, and education. He was born in a household that was predominantly Spanish language which made school harder. Cesar talked about being punished with a ruler to his knuckles for speaking Spanish in school. As the child of migrant farm workers he attended numerous different schools. Despite this Cesar was lucky. His parents encouraged him to learn and he went on to become an American hero as a civil and labor rights leader.
How can we ensure that children, who encounter similar obstacles as Cesar, are prepared for success, not set-up for failure? By getting them the extra help they need before it’s too late. The Cesar Chavez Education Institute can help.The Institute was established for the purpose of increasing the education opportunities available to students in schools who can benefit from extra instruction.
The Tutoring Program
Students receive 40 hours of direct instruction across the school academic year. Tutoring instruction is based on student learning plans that are set up based on the student's pre-assessment test at the start of the program.
The tutoring sessions are 2-3 hours per week (depending on students' skill/grade levels), twice a week. E.g. a K-1 session is not likely to be 1.5 hrs because of students' age and attention level.
Tutoring is in small groups of 6 to 9 students in a highly structured instructional format.
Instruction is provided for the English language learner.
Sessions take place at the child's respective school or at nearby community center, library, or other neighborhood facility.
Every 10 hours of instruction, the parents will receive a progress report on the student's progress or lack thereof. Changes in the student's learning plan are made in consultation with the parents. We are partners in their child's education.
