Community Based English Tutoring (CBET)

The purpose of the Community-Based English Tutoring (CBET) Program is for local educational agencies (LEAs) to provide free or subsidized programs of adult English language instruction to parents or other members of the community who pledge to provide personal English language tutoring to English learners. In accordance with Education Code Section 315 and Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations Section 11315, LEAs may use these funds for direct program services, community notification processes, transportation services, and background checks required of the tutors who volunteer in public schools settings.

For the 2006-2007 school year, we have 7 school sites participating in the CBET program: Horace Mann, Longfellow, McKinley, Noble, Ramon Garza. Wayside, and Munsey.Classes are from 5:00p.m., to 8:00p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at all sites except Munsey which has classes on Saturdays from 8:00a.m. - 12:00p.m. 

If you are a teacher, CPS worker, or custodian who would like to work for this program; or if you know a parent/community member who would benefit from participating in this program, please contact our department at 631-3139.
