SUMMARY: Tutors serve as mentors and role models for middle and high school students and are part of the overall support system for Highline students. Tutors support academic and social growth and share their enthusiasm for learning and for college preparedness. Tutors guide students in group tutorial sessions where students are led through a range of thinking processes and discussion as they reflect on their academic questions. Tutors possess personal attributes of integrity, respect for others, and team collaboration skills. Tutors work closely under their supervising teacher to meet the needs of the students in the classroom and receive training in the AVID tutoring methodology.

CONTEXT AND MISSION: Highline Public Schools serves approximately 19,000 students in the communities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac, Boulevard Park and White Center Heights in Washington State. Starting in the fall of 2012, the Highline community came together to develop a four-year strategic plan outlining the community's bold goals and big dreams for its children. The plan's promise is that every student in Highline Public Schools is known by name, strength, and need, and graduates prepared for college, career, and citizenship. The collective commitment embodied in the plan is grounded in the community's deep belief that Highline students are capable of reaching the plan's ambitious goals and is driven by students' aspirations for their future. The instructional vision articulated in the plan is organized around Four Pillars that guide professional and organizational practices: - Equitable access to rigorous, standards-based instruction. High-quality instruction for all students. - Results-focused professional learning and collaboration. Investing in our people so they continuously fine-tune their craft and grow in their profession. - Strong partnerships with families and community. Schools can't do it alone. We are better when students, families, community and educators work hand-in-hand. - A culturally responsive organization. Our diversity is a strength and an asset. We are committed to equity, excellent service for all, and continuous improvement.
