Calling all North and North West Tasmanian Schools 📍Tasmania EdConnect is looking to expand the learning support program into North and North West Tasmania (Launceston, Devonport, Burnie and surrounding areas). An opportunity for five schools to participate in a pilot with EdConnect learning support volunteers providing additional classroom support focusing on numeracy and literacy (grade 3 to year 9). We know our Tasmanian teachers are doing an amazing job and our EdConnect volunteers can assist by providing additional support. Our organisation currently runs in WA, VIC and NSW. In 2023, our schools benefitted from our program in a number of ways: ▶️ 2 in 3 teachers agreed that their EdConnect volunteer improved student literacy and numeracy ▶️ 81% teachers agreed students were more engaged in school/class activities because of an EdConnect volunteer ▶️ 87% teachers agreed students enjoy having an EdConnect volunteer in their classroom For 25 years EdConnect has been recruiting, screening, training and matching reliable volunteers in schools. These individuals give at least one hour a week for a 6 - 12 month period. Hear from one of our amazing Learning Support Volunteers Lionel about his role: https://lnkd.in/gukxQD8T Simply comment or tag a school below and we will be in touch to provide more information about the program or email edconnect@edconnect.org.au.
