Origin

This webinar picks up on, and aims to discuss, a point made by Ricky and David in their Tutoring Matters Webinar in February. One of the challenges of personal tutoring is that tutors may feel unready and lacking in specialist skills when asked to maximise the value of the small amount of contact time they have with their tutees.

for instruction (Beal., Shaw and Birch, 2007) characterised by ‘close behavioural observation’ of each other, teacher and learner, and by its relative strengths with respect to mutual feedback (Gordon, 2003).

PIC N’ MIX

Brian Williamson – University of Bolton

Tutoring Matters Webinar Series

Should a STEP curriculum for personal tutors be: narrow and deep like an advanced transactional analysis course; or broad, balanced and shallow like a FUN PIC N’ MIX where tutors can experiment with a few specialist interventions of their choosing … a whistle-stop tour of several easily understood models that can benefit students greatly! Some generic and some specific to the support of students with special needs?

Broad, balanced and shallow like a FUN PIC N’ MIX !!

and … should Staff Teaching Enhancement Programmes (STEP) for Personal Tutors be tailored to their genre of academic literacy and approach to teaching and learning, cashing in on the skills the academics already have in place?

Lecturers are academically literature but in different ways, different ways of engaging with theories, hypothesises, philosophies. Different ways of building learning relationships with students.
