Dear Great Brain,

  I am listening to a group of volunteers who go into an elementary school to do 
one on one tutoring with students.  They listen to them read and try to help them 
learn to pronounce words, get fluent and increase comprehension. 

  They are about to stage a revolt.   They have no guidelines. No idea what they 
should be working on with the students.  No idea what they should expect from the 
students at each grade level.  No idea what behavior is within the school 
boundaries.  The specialist who is the liaison with them does not stay in the room 
while the tutoring goes on and has not given them any guidance.

I am asking this wonderful group on behalf of these fine ladies if there are any 
standard guidelines/expectations for one on one tutoring?  Can anyone share a list 
of "how-to's" that the volunteers could take to the school to suggest to the staff?

The kids in this particular elementary school really need the one -on- one help and 
it would be such a sad situation to lose the very willing and very able tutors.

Thanks,
Barb

  I want to thank Julia for sharing this. I forwarded it to our school  
nurse, and then  while on lunch today, reading our local weekly paper  
( we had to go back for one day of spring break, to make up a snow  
day!)... I was reading an article about this very program ( thinking ,  
hmm, I've heard about this before!) , and it features one of our own  
families, as the three families profiled in the program. !  The " When  
Families Grieve" features families who have lost a parent, one as a  
first responder, as a soldier, and to illness ( our local family).
