PEAK Family Tutor

About Rocky Mountain Prep (RMP)

We are Rocky Mountain Prep, a movement comprised of incredible educators, families, scholars, and advocates who are changing the face of public education in Colorado by democratizing college access and preparation for historically marginalized students and families. On paper, we are a network of twelve college preparatory charter schools in the Denver metro area serving students as young as twelve weeks through twelfth grade. But we are so much more than this.

The RMP community is filled with staff, students, and stakeholders who are motivated by our pillars of rigor and love, live daily by our PEAK values, and believe deeply in the power and potential of every student we serve. We aspire to be the highest-performing school system in Colorado. We will grow to serve students in many communities who need more seats in schools that provide rigorous and loving college preparatory options.

Why We Need YOU

Our students don't have time to lose as they learn to read. PEAK Family Tutors will be important partners in ensuring every child has the skills they need to succeed. We are looking for individuals who know our students best (families, caregivers, local alumni, and community members) to close the literacy gap and change the lives of our 3rd-5th grade students reading below grade-level.

What you will be doing:

Tutors will work with small groups of 3-5 students, in person, during the school day at one of our 5 RMP elementary campuses. In addition to helping our students, becoming a PEAK Tutor also means that you will have opportunities to grow in your career or education within or outside of RMP.

High-Dosage Tutoring and Assessments

• Deliver tutoring sessions to small groups of 3rd-5th grade students or one-to-one throughout the school day
• Create a positive learning space that helps students stay engaged and grow in reading
• Work with teachers, coaches, and school leaders to track student reading progress, set goals, and adjust support based on student's needs
• Assess students in the fall, winter, and spring and use these results to guide your tutoring

Participate in coaching, training, and professional learning opportunities

• Attend the 5-week PEAK Family Institute orientation to build community with tutors and become a powerful leader and educator in our schools
