ED 97/197 CAL Field Studies courses

Education 97 and 197 field studies offers you an opportunity to tutor in the Berkeley Public Schools while earning academic credit. The majority of your time will be spent tutoring in a classroom, working directly with our students. Assignments are made in grades preschool through 12th grades, in most subjects, in the WriterCoach Connection Project, or you may tutor in an after school program. Your tutoring schedule is determined between you and the teacher. You may have one or multiple placements, depending upon scheduling and the hours you need to complete.

Once you have arranged your assignment with us, you should call or e-mail your assigned teacher to set up a schedule and begin tutoring as soon as possible.

You are responsible for registering for this course with Telebears. Completing the BSV application form does not register you with UCB. If you decide not to tutor, wish to change your number of units, or decide to tutor but not for units, please contact BSV immediately.

Feel free to read through the Ed. 97/197 field studies course syllabus before you decide to attend an orientation. It outlines requirements, time commitment, and other responsibilities:
