Keep administrators informed. Urge them to attend the parent meetings and some of the professional development sessions for teachers and invite them to visit classes and talk with teachers and students. Form Mathematics Labs . After School Mathematics Tutoring Lab is one way schools can provide additional help to students. For example, in one district Mathematics Lab is held two days a week after school.
Students sign up to attend with their mathematics teacher.
When students come to lab they need to have something to do. This might involve working on homework that is due the next day, working on a past assignment that they had trouble with and want more help on, organizing their notebook and working on sections such as their vocabulary, studying for a test or quiz, or working on a project. In this school there is one teacher in charge of the lab. The tutors are high school students who come to the middle school for this purpose. Tutors are chosen because of their strong mathematics and their ability to work with other people.
