Orientation Overview:
Recommendations/Notes: This orientation was developed with a non-educator in mind and is meant to give volunteers and other tutors the essential skills to begin their tutoring journey. In particular, this orientation can be a practical example of building tutor context related to the city/region where they are tutoring, and introducing them to high-level content area concepts before they receive more in-depth training through their tutoring provider. |
