girl scouts of the colonial coast
Congratulations to Cameron Hart, a graduate of Oscar Smith
High School, who has earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor and
achievement a girl can earn in Girl Scouts.
For her Gold Award project, Peer Tutoring for Spanish
Speaking Students, Cameron addressed the topic of global citizenship. She
assisted Spanish speaking students with learning the English language and
assimilating into American culture.
Cameron led a peer-tutoring session for ESL (English as a
Second Language) students. She gathered the information and concepts from
the Virginia Standards of Learning so the students would be up to date on the
correct information. She created pre-test, post-test and multiple
activities. Cameron made sure to evaluate her peer-tutoring program by
providing surveys to ESL students and then improving the lacking aspect of her
program.
She also assisted the ESL students to connect with the
community by organizing events. Cameron planned meetings where they would
discuss global topics with the ESL students, peer-tutors and adult
mentors.
Cameron compiled a binder with material used throughout her
project, so members of the local Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority can continue to
support this project further and use her peer-tutoring program.
