STARS Programs
STARS Peer Tutoring Program
This FREEcooperative, peer-tutoring program is available to all Wissahickon
High School students. A Wissahickon faculty member must recommend each tutor.
Each member will be matched with an available peer tutor or client, after
they have completed an application with parent signature and attended a short
in-service training. The Client’s teacher for the subject being tutored will
be given feedback on the material covered and the time spent in each study
session.
STARS Study Partners Program
This FREEcooperative, peer study program is available to all Wissahickon High
School Students. Students sign up with a friend to study for a specific
subject and teacher. Before participating, both study partners must submit a
completed application with parent signature and attend a short in-service
training. The teacher for the subject being studied by the Study Partners
will be given feedback on the material covered and the time spent in each
study session.
STARS Coach’s Choice Program
This FREEcooperative, peer study program is planned for athletes needing to
meet eligibility requirements because they need motivation to meet their class
requirements. Each Coach’s Choice team member must obtain an application from
their coach and sign up with a fellow team member. Both team members must be
recommended by their coach, complete an application with their parent’s
signature, and attend a brief orientation about the procedures of STARS.
These team members will meet together after school before practice. They will
help each other be accountable for completing their assignments in all
subjects. The Coach will be given feedback on the material covered and the
time spent in each study session.
All programs occur after school from 3:00 to 5:00 every day or during the
Instructional Support Lab period. All members can earn activity credit for
the time they participate in any of the programs. Clients, Tutors, and Study
Partners can use the 4:15 after school activity bus on Tuesday and Thursday;
on Monday and Wednesday students may stay in the library until the 5:30 after
school activity bus; however, they must provide their own transportation home
on Friday.
Applications for Clients, Tutors, and Study Partners are available in the
library, in the guidance office, from teachers, and in Room D04. Applications
for Coach’s Choice can be obtained from the coach. If you have questions,
concerns, or suggestions for this program, please call Ginny Atlee
(215-619-8112 ext. 2745) or Marci Grossman (215-619-8112 ext. 2926).
