Do FWS students who are hired as reading and mathematics tutors need training?
It is strongly recommended that FWS reading and mathematics tutors receive training in both content and pedagogy–appropriate to the age group of the students being tutored–before contact hours begin. This training may be provided by interested higher education faculty, such as those in the Schools of Education or in the Department of Mathematics, or by qualified personnel at the tutoring sites, such as teachers or after-school program coordinators. Community based education-related organizations (both private and non-profit) are often good resources for training and other aspects of tutoring programs.
