How are the homework lab sessions structured?
We staff each session with a site coordinator and tutors. School Year: In each of our programs, we have an open door policy, so students are welcome to come at any time during the session. Many of our students also use Chicago HOPES as a safe place to complete their homework, even if they don’t need assistance. This is fine. We just let them know that we are here for them when they need us. If a student doesn’t have homework or completes their homework, we have a coinciding math and literacy support program (includes educational worksheets, games, activities and books) for the students to work on. Summer: Our summer program is focused on Academic Enrichment. Each day there will be an activity facilitated by either an enrichment volunteer or the site coordinator(s). Activities are interactive and educational, incorporating students and volunteers. If a student has summer school homework, volunteers will assist the student with completing their assignment.
