CUNY Reading Corps transforms pre-service teachers’ coursework into high-impact tutoring
How can universities give back to the communities they belong to?
Dr. Katharine Pace Miles joined Read by 4th partners to talk about CUNY Reading Corps, a high-impact tutoring model CUNY has implemented in New York City. As part of their course fieldwork, pre-service teachers are paired with schools in need to deliver high-impact, evidence-based tutoring. This work has an incredible dual impact: giving students the reading support they need and providing the next generation of teachers with meaningful hands-on experience.
