Our Approach
SAGA's approach to tutoring is unique because it differs from the traditional tutoring model. Instead, students meet with their SAGA Fellow during a class period as part of their regular daily schedule - in addition to their normal core classes - for the entire school year.

Our Mission and Core Values
SAGA's mission is to transform the lives of the students we serve by motivating them to generate new levels of effort, developing their academic and problem-solving skills, and building their confidence, through personalized instruction and strong relationships among student, tutor, school, and family.
At SAGA Innovations, our commitment to our core values drives our work. We are:
Relationship-Driven
We prioritize, respect, and value relationships with communities, schools, parents, students, and each other.
We collaborate within and across teams, respecting and valuing each other's experiences and perspectives.
We spread the joy of learning through strong working relationships with each other and our students.
Equity, inclusiveness and excellence are the foundations for the relationships that we build.
Growth-Minded
We seek out, value, and thoughtfully provide feedback in order to improve continually.
We demonstrate “roll-with-it-ness” when faced with challenges, keeping our goals and relationships front and center.
We celebrate the growth of our students and ourselves.
We assume the best of others, while recognizing mistakes as opportunities for growth.
Impact-Driven
We use quality materials and provide high rigor across our curriculum for our students and training for our staff.
We are relentless in our efforts to unlock student potential .
We collect, analyze, and reflect on data regularly in order to monitor, learn and improve our effectiveness.
We hold ourselves and each other accountable to achieving our individual and team goals.
Why We Do This
For every 10 low-income students who enter high school, 7 will graduate on time, 4 will enter college, and only 1 will earn a college degree by the age of 24 (The Promise of College Completion, 2011). Finding interventions that improve the academic outcomes of low-income students is one of our nation's most urgent challenges. Very few educational interventions have targeted a key barrier to school success: “mismatch” between what regular classrooms deliver and the needs of students, particularly those far below grade level. The variability in academic achievement increases as students progress through school; by high school, many students in distressed communities can be three or more years behind grade level, especially in math, which research shows is a specific choke point in the pathway to graduation for high school students.
Our Results
SAGA tutoring has been the subject of multiple large-scale randomized controlled trials conducted by the University of Chicago. Results have shown that SAGA's in-school tutoring model is one of the most effective high school interventions ever studied. SAGA is committed to consistently and systematically testing variations to its model in order to offer the most affordable, implementable, scalable, and effective services to the districts, families, and students we serve. This work builds off of a randomized clinical research study by the University of Chicago, which was published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2013 and 2014, in which students gained up to 2.5+ years of math growth in one year of high-dosage math tutoring. This research shows that it is possible to make a difference in the academic trajectory of students in high-need urban communities-it is not too late.
Position Summary
SAGA Fellows commit 10 months of service to students in Chicago public schools. The Fellowship begins in mid-August and runs through the end of the 2018-2019 school year.
Responsibilities
Fellows guarantee the academic success of students by focusing intently on individualizing instruction and building personal and meaningful relationships with their students for the entire service year.
Each Fellow has a personal caseload of up to 14 students they work with every day. SAGA tutorials are embedded into the school day, with Fellows working with two students at a time for 7 periods of the 8-period school day.
Fellows contact families frequently about student progress. This communication forges trust, creates relationships, and keeps parents aware of the successes and needs of their children.
Every site has a coordinator who is responsible for observing, training, and supporting Fellows through the entire year. Fellows will be observed weekly and must be hungry for feedback.
Qualifications
Required qualifications, skills, and/or experience:
Passion for education reform and hunger for feedback.
Strong basic high school math skills.
Prior paid or volunteer experience with students is helpful.
Prior coaching, tutoring or teaching experience is helpful.
Peace Corps and other National Service alumni are encouraged to apply; those who are looking for a meaningful gap-year opportunity or those who are looking for a ramp-up opportunity into education.
Benefits
SAGA Fellows earn pay for every hour worked. In Chicago, Fellows earn $13.68 per hour and work an approximately 37.5 hour workweek, with an extra half-hour per day allotted for lunch. Those who work a full school year, plus training, will earn approximately $19,500 for the service term. Over 10 months, Fellows receive 7 days of paid time off. Fellows do not work on federal holidays, during school vacations, or on snow days. Health and dental benefits are available to those who need access. In addition, every SAGA Fellow receives intensive on-site professional development and training on effective instructional techniques and student behavior management. There is a genuine opportunity for advancement within the organization after the program ends in June.

Position Summary
Under the direction of a Principal Investigator, further develops and expands understanding of scientific theory in his/her area of interest. Incumbent also learns and applies scientific laboratory techniques and gains experience in other areas of research that will lead to increased probability of success as an independent scientist. This is a training position with an expected duration of 1 - 3 years.
At the crossroads of metabolism, immunity, and aging
The Xian lab's long-term goal is to enhance immune therapies by uncovering how mitochondrial stress activates the immune system. We focus on how mitochondria-released danger signals-known as danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-shape immunity. In particular, we study circulating oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mt DNA), that rises with aging and correlates with autoimmune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative disorders. By defining these pathways, we aim to translate basic discoveries into new diagnostics and therapies for autoimmunity, aging-related conditions, and cancer.
Our recent work revealed that Ox-mt DNA controls the transition from inflammation to autoimmunity, through direct communication between plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. This finding opens two central questions for our lab:
Do pDCs present self-antigens to activate Tfh cells in autoimmune disease?
Are Tfh cells pathogenic in aging and neurodegenerative conditions where circulating Ox-mt DNA is elevated?
To address these questions, we combine human and mouse models with approaches in immunology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and bioinformatics. Through this integrated strategy, we will define the molecular mechanisms of immune pathogenesis and ultimately develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for autoimmunity, neurodegeneration and cancer.
