self-assessment: a UNC-Greensboro tidbit by way of ATP St. Louis

Last week I went to the Association for the Tutoring Profession (ATP) conference in St. Louis, Missouri. In one of the fifty concurrent sessions, the tutoring folks at UNC-Greensboro shared their client evaluation form. It’s so detailed and interesting that I’m going to ask you all to try it out on yourselves–to pilot it, (for new tutors, as the basis for your journal #4, a self-assessment). Their three years of institutional assessment and development has brought them to this thorough instrument for student clients to evaluate their tutoring sessions…in seven categories of learning outcomes linked to their mission and goals. Very neatly connected. They also have a somewhat shorter one for tutors to give feedback to students on their developing study behaviors. We’ll go over them at our last staff meeting on Wed. 4/16 @ 5:30.

 

Greetings from St. Louis!

Here I am at the Association for the Tutoring Profession conference at the historic Hyatt Regency, Union Station, in St. Louis, Missouri.  This morning I presented our listening/questioning/learning styles/problem-solving triads module that we do for common training.  Seeing all these tutor trainers trying out the 3 roles and having a great time doing it was very gratifying.   So you all are a hit!!  I encouraged them to get onto this blog and comment…so maybe they will. In a couple of years, the conference will be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, so maybe we could have a convoy up I-95?  See you on Thursday when I return to work.  No meeting on Wednesday.  Keep up the good work!!  Your ears should be burning b/c I’m talking about you all the time.
