Teachers and tutors

The Tule River Education Department provides qualified teachers and tutors at two locations: Towanits Indian Education Center, located on the Tule River Reservation, and the Tule River Indian Study Center, located in Porterville.

Regular School Year

During the regular school year each teacher provides after school academic assistance to about 10-15 students daily. Students attend their respective centers after their regular school day and their teachers assist them with their homework and provide supplemental work as needed. Teachers are also responsible for tracking their students’ school attendance and grades. After normal services are done, some teachers and students have established clubs that meet weekly.

Summer Programs

During the summer the program becomes more robust. Students in K-12 attend our summer school for six hours a day over the course of six weeks. Classroom sizes are small, which gives our teachers the unique opportunity to tailor their curriculum to fit the specific students they have. Students get a daily dose of physical education, and they also get to participate in an elective, non-academic class for an hour every day. At the end of each week we take the students on a field trip, or have an event at each respective center.

Education Center

The Towanits Indian Education Center has been around for nearly 20 years. The center features a large library, computer lab and the Waterford and Success Maker computer-based learning programs. The staff consists of seven teachers, one librarian, one computer technician, one home/school liaison, one secretary, and two transporters.
