North Dakota Reading and Math Corps

Education Administration ProgramsNorth Dakota, United States1 Employees

North Dakota Reading and Math Corps, based in Fargo, North Dakota, participates in the AmeriCorps education programs network. It oversees two tutoring initiatives: Reading Corps, which aims to ensure students achieve proficient reading by the end of third grade, and Math Corps, which provides 90 minutes of weekly math tutoring in pairs for 4th–8th graders to build foundational skills for algebra readiness. In addition, prekindergarten tutors operate in childcare classrooms, collaborating with lead teachers to implement instructional strategies for all children. Tutors come from diverse backgrounds and are engaged for ten months each school year, reflecting the program’s staffing model.

The programs partner with area schools to reach students who lack resources for tutoring and who are not yet proficient but do not qualify for Title I services. The organization maintains a small permanent staff and relies on AmeriCorps members to deliver instruction. A recent development noted in local coverage is the July 2024 appointment of a new executive director for the South East Education Cooperative, Porter, reflecting leadership changes within the broader cooperative network that serves the state. This places North Dakota Reading and Math Corps within a statewide effort to improve literacy and math readiness through school-based partnerships.
