Subject: Our Life’s Discovery Tutoring Program
During our Creating Change seminar you gave us all a challenge to create a new Corporate Social Responsibility program that would benefit our local Silver Spring, MD community as well as Discovery Communications. With the achievement gap affecting minorities in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), Discovery should consider utilizing its educational products and services towards an after school employee volunteer tutoring program for struggling students. A program such as this one would not only help these students but it will also give Discovery a competitive advantage as well as favorable publicity within the community. The following investigation and examination indicates how such a project could be organized.
Achievement Gap
In the last decade MCPS has made many strides to close the achievement gap between minorities and their fellow white/asian students. The MCPS achievement gap is closely related to a student’s ethnicity, race and income level. The MCPS system is divided between its advanced high schools where White and Asian students attend; and its low-scoring ranked minority high schools. Most of these low performing schools are located in Silver Spring, Md. According to the findings of the County Council’s Office of Legislative Oversight found in MCPS website, “Since 2010, the economic, racial and ethnic stratification of students among MCPS high schools has increased . . . the achievement gap between high- and low-poverty high schools has widened [since 2008] ” (p. 9). Achieving as well as maintaining high grades in these schools is increasingly harder for struggling students of all walks of life, leading several students to drop out and forgo continuing their education.
Nevertheless MCPS states on their website, they will narrow the gap by adding more teachers. As well as decrease classroom sizes specifically in high schools [where there is more need], this will allow a more focused attention to students who are experiencing difficulty in school (p.1). Under these circumstances, creating an after school-tutoring program would be most beneficial to the community. Together with focusing MCPS’s resources on failing students, we can increase MCPS’s chances of lowering the achievement gap. Correspondingly, struggling students will experience a sense of community through our program as well as giving them the confidence needed to engage in becoming active participants in furthering their education.

Volunteer Coordinator Volunteer Coordinators have been assigned at each school to streamline the volunteer process and develop new meaningful volunteer opportunities. Volunteer Portal A volunteer portal has been developed by IT and is currently live on each school website. Volunteers can now view all volunteer opportunities district-wide and can select which volunteer opportunity and/or school in which they wish to volunteer. Information Coordinator Information Coordinators have been assigned at each school to streamline the parent-school communication process. Volunteer opportunities will be posted by each school on the volunteer portal. They also are asked to use other methods of communicating with both internal and external communities. Parent Ambassadors Parent Ambassadors will be selected by the principal of each school. Parent Ambassadors will serve for one year. They will be asked to participate in workshops that cover topics in which parents have less understanding or may not receive correct information.
