WC Training: Day One

I think today's training really got me in the mode to learn more about becoming a better tutor. I enjoyed the discussion and stories among the group. The article we reviewed today, written by William Macauley Jr., provided some great ways to mentally organize the path of a session as well as to bring focus to a student's assignment. Setting an agenda for a session also allows the tutor and tutee to get and remain on the same page. I plan on giving this strategy a shot by implementing it in future sessions.

In my opinion, today's training was successful. I was stimulated and thought critically about our work here as writing tutors. I look forward to the rest of our training.

Yea! Stimulation is good! ;-)

Especially here right at the end of summer & getting ready for fall. We are so lucky to have you on board, Jenelle!
