Goodwill NNE AmeriCorps - Exeter Region Cooperative Middle School - Stratham, NH
SAU 16's Cooperative Middle School serves the communities of Brentwood, East Kingston, Exeter, Kensington, Newfields, and Stratham in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. Cooperative Middle School serves just under 1000 students in grades 6-8. SAU 16 strives to provide individualized and innovative instruction so each graduate can demonstrate engaged learning and citizenship through the ability to solve problems independently and collaboratively with perseverance and resilience and communicate solutions with confidence and empathy. Goodwill NNE's Granite State Education Corps places AmeriCorps members with nonprofits to support youth (grades 4-12) that have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Many of these youth suffer from trauma due to instability in the home which makes it challenging to succeed in school (both socially and academically). Members take a “whole child” approach, implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) practices, mentoring youth, engaging families, and supporting youth through in-school and in after-school programming that increases resilience, develops human capital, and ultimately increases self-sufficiency of the youth.
Member Duties: AmeriCorps members will provide support for CMS's tier two students. Tier two students are those that may need short term help or reteaching of specific skills. AmeriCorps members will draw upon a variety of resources to provide support for identified students. All materials we require to be used will come with associated training provided by the school district. AmeriCorps members will work with students in both a scheduled and flexible manner. When services are scheduled, students will come to an identified location for work with the AmeriCorps member. When services are flexible, the AmeriCorps member will provide support to students when the student is either displaying dysregulation or when a student has an earned reward for achieving their goals.
