About Blueprint Schools Network (“Blueprint”)

Founded in 2010, Blueprint Schools Network is a national nonprofit organization that promotes educational equity and improves life outcomes for students. For the last decade, we have run small group math tutoring programs as part of the regular school day both in-person and remotely. Our growing network of more than 1,000 Blueprint Math Fellows past and present have served more than 25,000 students in grades 2-11 at more than 100 schools across the country in California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Texas and Tennessee. For the 2021-22 academic year, we expect to partner with districts and charter school networks in Oakland, Pittsburg and San Francisco, (CA), the Denver Metro Region, CO; East Saint Louis (IL), Nashville (TN) and Washington DC.

Why it Matters

Even before the pandemic, students across the country were not receiving proper math support to meet their academic and social emotional developmental needs. With the significant interruption in their education due to COVID-19, students - particularly students of color and those experiencing poverty need targeted math support more than ever. As such, Blueprint Math Fellows play a critical role in addressing an education crisis that has only amplified long-standing injustices in our education system.

Blueprint Math Fellows work to build strong relationships with students to increase their self-confidence and commitment to education by working with 4-8 students at a time delivering individualized instruction.  Fellows work closely in partnership with teachers to accelerate students’ academic achievement. Blueprint Math Fellows are full or part-time tutors that help students with highly personalized instruction in mathematics during the regular school day to increase their confidence in and enjoyment of math.

As a Blueprint Math Fellow, you are provided paid professional development, content support, coaching support, and feedback.  Fellows are paid hourly, which includes paid time for daily preparation, planning and professional development!  Full-time Fellows are paid for lunch.  In addition, full-time Fellows are eligible for medical, dental and vision care benefits!   Blueprint is proud to offer 100% paid monthly benefit premiums beginning on the first day of employment for individual medical, dental and vision coverage for our full-time Fellows.

 Our Fellows join a local school community, connect with their students, and receive a ton of training and ongoing support in math content and teaching strategies from a Blueprint Site Manager that is dedicated to their growth and success.
