Module Overview (See complete scope):
Recommendations/Notes: While the training is content agnostic, the modules are primarily illustrated with secondary math examples or secondary student scenarios, and tutors are asked to apply the principles they learn to secondary practice examples. The content is valuable and relevant to all grades and content areas. However, providers may consider developing examples relevant to the grade level and subject area that tutors are assigned. Additionally, tutors must complete Saga Coach modules in the order they are presented. Access to the next module is granted only when a tutor completes the previous module. Providers can advise tutors to move quickly through modules they do not want tutors to take (e.g., fast-forwarding videos, writing one-word answers, etc.). |
