The program also supports the development of leadership skills, teamwork, relationship building, time management, and awareness of pressing social justice issues. From August 1-4 and August 8-11, students will attend a half-day of school on Monday Thursday. It’s a chance for incoming kindergartners to get to know their school, their teachers and classmates. Simmons students get to work with the same children throughout the entire academic year in order to build relationships and to see the transformative impact they are having on Boston’s earliest learners.Ī dedicated staff member supports students throughout the entirety of their service, including providing comprehensive training and coaching throughout the year to increase each members' ability to work effectively with children. Registration is open for the Crook County School District’s Kindergarten Jump Start Program. Two afternoons weekly with a team of 5-6 other Simmons students, AmeriCorps members implement a supplementary early childhood curriculum that includes such elements as reading in small groups (1 AmeriCorps member to 3-4 children) and engaging in activities and explorations tied to a larger theme.
During these 300 hours, students are assigned to a specific classroom in a Jamaica Plain partner preschool. At Simmons, our AmeriCorps members come from a variety of disciplines and commit to 300 hours throughout the academic year.
