This information is provided in a training manual which is given to tutors at the time of the initial training. The current tutor training model incorporates a large group presentation for tutors in the above noted time frame. At the training, individual assistance is provided by the various site facilitators. The session is led by the District coordinator. Initial training is completed in one session.
Continual training is provided by the site facilitators as the prescriptive plan is implemented.
This ongoing in-service training may range from a minimum of once to a maximum of four times a week depending on the number of sessions a tutor works. The nature of the in-service provided by the site facilitator is based on the observed or expressed need of the tutor. In most instances, the in-service is provided at the time of identification or at the next session the tutor is scheduled to work.
