North Carolina Education Corps (NCEC) is a response to the impact COVID‑19 is having on schools, as students struggle to keep up with learning. We bring together community members to support students and accelerate learning, seeking to provide quality, whole‑child and academic support to young students in the wake of the pandemic. We do this by partnering with public schools to recruit, train, and deploy “corps members.”

Corps members, including community college and university students, recent graduates, and retirees, are paid to work part‑time as tutors. Corps members work directly for a NC school district. Corps members build relationships and connect with young students. They help teachers reach students who need additional academic support. They accelerate COVID learning recovery with students, families, and school personnel.

During the 2023‑2024 school year, NC Education Corps members will serve as high‑impact Literacy and/or Math tutors focused on supporting students with their foundational literacy and math skills. As early literacy and/or Math tutors, corps members will assist K‑3 students with building foundational skills in reading and math as appropriate. Our call to action is simple:
Imagine if every K‑3 student had access to a tutor. Step up to serve as a corps member. Join a statewide effort to support students and accelerate learning.

NCEC corps members are hired by a participating public‑school unit (school district or charter school) and will serve from mid‑September to mid‑May. There are two positions offered, 10‑15 hours/week and 20‑29 hours/week. Corps members will work directly with a school‑based lead to administer tutoring sessions with K‑3 students on a 1:1 or 1:3 small‑group basis. Tutoring sessions focus on early literacy and Math skills, reinforcing lessons introduced by teachers.

NCEC will provide ongoing, cohort‑based professional learning throughout the year as we confront the needs of early literacy and math skills in NC. Each corps member is assigned a Learning Coach who will lead them through pre‑service and in‑service learning during their 9‑month commitment. Learning sessions will build knowledge around high‑impact tutoring, the science of reading and the delivery of reading and math instruction.
