I had two roles in the Migrant Education Program:As a seasonal Lead Bilingual Recruiter, I located migrant agricultural workers and conducted Spanish-language field interviews in camps, farms, and other locations during harvest season. I provided information about the federally-funded Migrant Education Program and associated services, and used federal guidelines to determine eligibility for the program and enroll participants. I assisted children and parents in accessing education and health care and advocated for our clients as needed. As a Lead Recruiter I coordinated recruiters for the Evening Program for youth and young adults, scheduling recruiters and assisting with coordinating transportation and medical, vision and dental services for our migrant participants.As an Instructional Tutor during the school year, I provided tutoring in literacy and math to children of agricultural migrant workers as part of the federally-funded Migrant Education Program. I assessed children's instructional needs, coordinated with subject and ESL teachers, created lesson plans, assessments, and activities in Spanish and English. I communicated with and engaged parents, met district and federal program reporting requirements, and managed a tutoring schedule.
