ICEBREAKER Find the other people in the room with the same number on their card Each group of 3 to 4 people should then sit together & learn each other’s names talk about the questions/concerns you wrote on the board at the start of class pick one person to introduce the group members and another to tell the class which one question/concern your group found most interesting or important

  3. Goals for the courseWe want you To become confident, skilled, reflective tutors who try new things,question their own techniques,love tutoring,and have fun

  5. Goals for the courseWe want you To learn ways to communicatethat will help in life

  6. Goals for the courseWe want you To make friends andfeel like a part of the tutoring community

  7. Goals for the courseWe want you To help each other,to help shape this class and program,to become leaders & senior tutors(maybe even teachers)

  8. Professionalism The goal of tutoring IS NOT to show what you know about math or to solve math problems

  9. Professionalism The goal of tutoring IS to help students learn how to solve math problemson their ownand to help them learn how to learn and study

  10. Professionalism Some people are great mathematicians but they may not be great tutorsThey need to learn techniques that help students learn and they need to understand the real goals of tutoring

  11. When a student asks a tutor for help with a problem, is the success of the tutoring session measured by [a] how well the tutor solved the problem ? [b] how well the tutor explained the solution ? [c] how well the student can imitate the tutor’s solution ? [d] how well the student learned to think aboutand solve the problem ?

  12. If the tutoring session consists entirely of the tutor showing the steps used to solve the problem, was the tutoring session [a] successful ? [b] unsuccessful ? [c] impossible to judge without more information ?

  13. What is the faculty’s#1 complaint about tutors ? [a] tutors who don’t show up on timeand who socialize with friends during tutoring sessions [b] tutors who do the students’ homeworkand take-home tests [c] tutors who don’t turn in their time sheets on time [d] tutors who eat onions and garlic just before tutoring (math gigolos)

  14. How the class is organized Not too much heavy reading, but high expectations for assignments & discussions (Be ready to share your experiences & concerns) Attendance & participation (in class & online) is essential to your learning, and is part of your grade

  15. How the class is organized Review greensheet and website before class Submit assignments online BEFORE class, so you will be prepared for class discussions Go to the website regularly and post to Forums & Dialogue Chamber (Have you posted assignment #1 yet ? Have you responded to someone else’s assignment #1 ?) Some assignments involve other students or staff, and require advance planning (ie. observation videotaping, final group project)

  16. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method Like a good movie,a good tutoring session should have a good beginning, a good middle and a good ending

  17. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method A good beginning Greet Establish Trust Define the Task

  18. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method A good middle (The Five Step Method) Check that problem is written correctly Have student explain their method for solving Reinforce correct logic, identify incorrect logic,ask student for alternatives (hints OK, but delay explanations until student offers guess how to correct) Have student re-explain entire procedure (ask WHW) Have student work independently on next problem

  19. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method A good ending Finish up with genuine positive feedbackand encouragement

  20. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method

  21. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method In your groups,practice the Tutoring Process & the Five Step Method 10 minutes per session (1 session per group member  3 or 4 sessions) each session, one person plays the tutor, one person plays the student, remaining people observe and analyze the session tutor should try to incorporate as many items from the Tutoring Process & The Five Step Method handouts 7 minutes for tutoring + 3 minutes for observers to report what parts of Tutoring Process & Five Step Method were done well, what parts were done not so well

  22. The Tutoring Process &The Five Step Method Debrief Did the tutors set up a good beginning to the sessions ? Did the tutors use the Five Step Method ? Did the tutors wrap up on a positive note ?What did the tutors miss/not do ? What parts of the Process & Method were easiest to do ? What parts were hardest to do ?

  23. Next weekApplying the Theory Active Listening & Getting Beyond Plug & ChugRead the greensheet for complete list of homework Read the handouts (pages 2, 4 to 8) Do/Post Assignment #2 (Tutoring Process Reflection) Respond to other students’ Assignment #1 Watch online videos listed in greensheet Plan ahead for later assignments/final project (see greensheet)
