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.

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). >> From: Julia Benincosa <jbeninco@ACCESS.K12.WV.US> >> Date: April 7, 2010 1:23:03 PM EDT >> To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU >> Subject: Re: [LM_NET] ELEM: books about loss of parent/grandparent >> Reply-To: Julia Benincosa <jbeninco@ACCESS.K12.WV.US> >> >> Sesame Street has a grief kit... >> >> PBS: When Families Grieve Outreach Kits Available >http://video.pbs.org/video/1457528906/ >> When Families Grieve is a continuation of Sesame Workshop’s award- >> winning Talk, Listen, Connect initiative that first launched July >> 2006.
