When SHAPE started in 1997, it served only
Midvale and Lincoln Elementary Schools. It now serves eight
schools, from elementary through high school. SHAPE’s
early goals were derived in part from a 17-point plan presented
by the Civil Rights Defense Coalition, a UW student organization,
to the Chancellor’s Office. One of the recommendations
was to send UW-Madison students into Madison schools to help
improve the achievement of students of color, with the ultimate
goal of enlarging and diversifying the pool of eligible students
admitted to UW-Madison or comparable institutions.

Snapshot: SHAPE Seminar
For the first time,
the Education Fellows program became involved this semester
in the SHAPE Tutoring Program. While most students have
participated in SHAPE because of their interest in becoming
teachers, a significant number of tutors have come from
other majors on campus since the program’s inception
seven years ago.
