peer-centered

Hello my lovelies,
Here's a link for those of you who are interested in writing tutoring/consulting. http://www.peercentered.org/ It's a great venue to chat with other tutors about their work.
Enjoy!

Hello ARC Gang,
The semester is off and running and I see your schedules are nearly full already. It's going to be another busy fall semester. We have many new members joining our ranks. I would like you all to welcome them to our team! We had our first day of orientation today, and I'm sure they're all excited to get started tutoring. In the spirit of cooperation and ease that defines our little ARC haven, please introduce yourselves to them and welcome them with open arms.

Some of you have already been chosen to act as mentors for the new tutors. They will begin observing your sessions on Monday. Don't worry, there's no judgment here -- they'll just be watching how you handle your sessions so they're not totally unfamiliar with their own.

New tutors, thank you again for meeting with me today. It was good to see your excited faces. I have faith that you will all do very well and become integral parts of our Center. In preparation for your observations next week, I'm attaching a list of questions/ideas for you to think about while observing the session. We'll meet later in the week to discuss what you observed. I'm sending it out to everyone also; it'll provide us a starting point for our weekly meetings.

Also, remember our Common Time meeting will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 17, from 3-4pm in the ARC.
See you all very soon.Enjoy the weekend,

Wednesday

common time, fall '08

Hi gang!
You may have noticed that I've reserved Wednesdays, 3-4pm as our Common Time for weekly meetings, workshops, etc. So let's have our first meeting next Wednesday, Sept. 17, 3-4pm. We'll talk about our summer, meet and greet the newest additions to our tutoring family, and set our agenda for the semester. We've tried to free up everyone's schedule, but if you have a scheduling conflict please let me know.

Please let me know if you can or cannot come to the meeting.
I hope to see you all very soon,
Courtney
