Join us for a webinar on Tutor Ready for February 19, 2015 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern.
This webinar will demonstrate Tutor Ready, a freely available online resource for literacy tutors. Using Tutor Ready learning plans tutors can work at their own pace, access material anywhere and any time as they prepare to work with learners. Tutor Ready presents research-based information in manageable chunks based on tutor questions using text, images, audio and video to illustrate tutoring techniques. Tutor Ready can be part of pre- and in-service training as well as being available at any time that tutors have questions. Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.
