Teachers at 30 Wake schools will get math coaching, under new contract
The Wake County Public School System is working with more contractors for learning interventions.
Posted — UpdatedThe district piloted the coaching program in four schools in the spring, with positive feedback, said Drew Cook, assistant superintendent for academics.
It’s part of the district’s effort to hire more contractors for learning interventions, Cook said.
The school board also approved another academic intervention Tuesday night. The board voted to spend $485,796.93 this year toward training more tutors for the WakeTogether High Impact Tutoring program. The program provides regular tutoring sessions in reading to individual students or groups of no more than three students in 30 elementary schools. It started in 2022.
The district hopes to eventually make the program become permanent, with a sustainable funding source, Cook said. The school system also works with the YMCA and the Helps Education Fund to provide the tutoring.
