Webinar Presenter

Overview

How would you like the benefit of twenty-eight years of experience in developing tutor training? Imagine avoiding all those mistakes. Envision replicating great examples. Dream up new ideas. Here is the playbook for beginning, developing, or improving your tutor training.

As one professor noted, no tutor is better than a mediocre tutor! The quality of training will either prevent or foster mediocrity in a tutor. When training is at its best, tutors serve as agents of retention. The training we invest in them significantly impacts not only student learning but persistence.

The model featured in this workshop is based on that used by the Academic Assistance and Resource Center (AARC) of Stephen F. Austin State University. The AARC has earned these honors:

CRLA certification at all three levels
Distinguished Certification from National Association of Developmental Education
Star Award from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
Best program, Texas Association of Developmental Education
John Champaign Memorial Award for Outstanding Developmental Education Program

Objectives

Why your tutor program should be the most important program on campus
What is the difference between mediocre training and stellar training
How to write a mission statement for training that really means something
How to create a tutor training team using other tutors

How to train after training is “over”
How to build a community among tutors that reinforces training
