INTERESTED IN HELPING CHILDREN LEARN?
If so, then STIMULUS will arrange a school placement for you at a time in the week when you are available, and give you training and support to help children in the age group of your choice. See stimulus.maths.org for more details.
Placements are usually 1-2 hours per week, and volunteers help the same class(es) each week so that they get to know the pupils. They provide valuable support, giving many youngsters more individual help and attention than teachers are able to give on their own.
Volunteers choose the age range of pupils they wish to work with and opt for Science, Mathematics, design, computing or coding classes (at the lower primary level other subjects are often available). As well as supporting the work of class teachers by helping individuals and small groups, volunteers wishing to do so may plan and carry out short practical projects with groups of pupils.
Students who wish to participate this can apply by completing the on-line application form by midnight on Friday 9th October. This is available at https://stimulus.maths.org/members/volunteers/register.php.
All details of placements will be given at the STIMULUS introductory sessions during the week of Monday 12th October and school visits will start during the following week. DBS (the new CRB) forms will also be organised at these sessions.
Further information about STIMULUS is available from the project leader, Jacqui Watkins.
