We like to consider ourselves the district's largest hiring pool. Seventeen of our 2021-2023 Members were offered positions in schools in our around the Eldon area, ten in Eldon R-1 schools.

MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS

Students are not one-size-fits all beings. We work diligently to recruit a staff from diverse backgrounds, lived experiences, and levels of education to increase our opportunity to provide every student with the "just right" person to reach them where they are and empower them to succeed personally and academically. Our members do this by joining the students in the classroom, building effective working relationships with teachers, and providing one-on-one, small group, and/or whole classroom support to supplement the instruction provided by the teacher. Our members are generally assigned to one or two grade levels at the elementary level or one content area at the secondary level. Their dedication to that area allows them to become a valued member of the teaching team there.

MEMBER SUPPORT

Member development is a key aspect of our program. We want our members to gain as much from their service as the students do from them being here. We provide whole staff and individualized training for efficacy in service as well as marketability and success in members' professional life after AmeriCorps.
