Job DescriptionJob Description

The Young People's Project (YPP) is on a mission to change the landscape of who participates in the learning and teaching of STEM education in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville Massachusetts. YPP is committed to working with populations of students who have been historically underrepresented in STEM learning and careers. YPP understands that part of the solution to the problem of improving STEM education access and outcomes for populations of students who are being left behind lies within the students themselves, who we view as valuable assets and problem solvers. YPP has over 25 years of experience engaging and employing young people to work in and out of school to learn math well enough to teach, lead, and organize math literacy for their younger peers.

Description of Role

The Computer Science For All: Building Capacity in Computer Science Education and Student Near Peer Classroom Mentorship Is an integrated math and computer science Professional Development research project that emphasizes a cascading near-peer project based pedagogical approach to math instruction.

  1. Help to build a safe, inviting, challenging, respectful and engaging learning environment and culture in the classroom;
  2. Build meaningful professional relationships with the students, teacher, and YPP staff;
  3. Help students develop the thinking, communication, problem-solving, management, inquiry, team-building, and interpersonal skills they will need to become successful in school and in life;
  4. Become leaders in the classroom by helping to teach the material and manage a classroom.
