College Readiness Advocate (Math)

APIE’s College Readiness Advocates prepare students to meet academic college-readiness benchmarks outlined by the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) through individualized and small-group tutoring in reading, writing, and math. Advocates also advise their students on college and career pathways and support their students in developing the non-academic skills necessary for successful postsecondary experience. Lastly, Advocates work closely with the Program Director to build and sustain community partnerships at assigned AISD campuses, and to help build a college-going culture within the school district.

Advocates work collaboratively with their teammates, supervisors, and campus partners to deliver holistic college readiness support for their students. At the same time, CR Advocates work independently to lead small classes at two campuses. During on-board training, CR Advocates receive guidance on how to utilize APIE’s curriculum, create lesson plans, engage students, manage student behavior, and assist students with the college-going process. Advocates continue receiving professional development throughout the school year.
