Dakota Dreams Online Tutoring Returns, with New Feature
Sometimes, a student just needs a little extra time and attention to master particular concepts or skills. Last year, the Board of Regents and Department of Education launched the Dakota Dreams Online Tutoring Program to provide that support. Students K-12 were able to access FREE after-school homework help from tutors who were students training to be teachers at Northern State University (NSU) and Black Hills State University (BHSU). The Online Tutoring program will be back again in school year 2023-24, with an added feature called Tutor Tracks.
Tutor Tracks offers a series of seven-week, curriculum-based sessions helping elementary and middle school students build skills in the areas of reading, grammar and math. These tutor-led lessons are online, totally free, and with the tutors from NSU and BHSU.
