A committed and spirited group of tutors met on November 10th to brainstorm ideas for what a mentor program could involve. Our group identified many support needs for new and experienced tutors, and compiled a list of skills and different levels of involvment that a tutor can provide as a mentor.
As a practicing tutor, what support would you like the BoulderReads!to coordinate with one of these mentors peers as you journey with your adult learners towards their reading and writing goals?

I think a mentor would be a wonderful idea - especially someone who has worked with a student with similar needs/goals. It would be very helpful to have someone help suggest various lesson plans and tools for use - particularly for the first 3 months as we get started with a new student.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you commented on this oppportunity and feel that this would be useful.
ReplyDeleteWe have 10 interested mentors who will be on call for a variety of needs for tutors. I will send out the checklist of the areas of expertise that are being offered. Tutors can then contact me via email or send back this e-checklist and request a tutor mentor.
I am very excited about the launch of this new support program.
