LEARNING OUTCOMES Participants will be able to… • state some of the historical foundations of tutoring & tutor training • identify some current or potential benefits to having their program certified by ITTPC or IMTPC • list what is needed for certification and where they are in the process • state what application process insights they have gained as a result of this session

  5. HISTORY of Tutor Training When Harvard opened its doors in 1636 as America's first college, many of its incoming students were not yet proficient in Latin. Harvard provided tutors to help these students acquire the proficiency needed to succeed. Van, B. (1992). College learning assistance programs: Ingredients for success. Journal of College Reading and Learning, 24(2), 27-39.

  6. HISTORY of Tutor Training In 1907, over half of the beginning students at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia failed to meet entrance requirements. Dr. Maxwell attributed this to their fierce competition for students. Maxwell, M. (1979). Improving student learning skills: A comprehensive guide to successful practices and programs for increasing the performance of underprepared students. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

  7. HISTORY of Tutor Training Learning Assistance Centers In California in 1972: "a facility...where learners, learner data, and learning facilitators are interwoven into a sequential, cybernetic, individualized, people-oriented system to service all students (learners) and faculty (learner facilitators) of any institution for whom learning by students is important." This innovation changed the goals and focus of tutorial support at colleges and universities. Instead of providing services to special populations only (as a stigma, focusing only on weaknesses), this innovation expanded tutorial and other instructional support services to all, including the staff, faculty, and administration of the college or university. Christ, F. L. (1980). Learning assistance at a state university: A cybernetic model. In K. V. Lauridsen (Ed.), New directions for college learning assistance: Examining the scope of learning centers (pp. 45-56). San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

  8. HISTORY of Tutor Training Peer Tutoring Roueche (1983), in a national study on elements of success in institutions of higher education, stated that one of the components of the success of basic skill development programs for colleges and universities was the use of peer tutors. Roueche, S. D. (1983). Elements of program success: Report of a national study. In J. E. Roueche (Ed.), New directions for college learning assistance: A new look at successful programs (pp. 3-10). San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

  9. HISTORY of Tutor Training In March 1989, CRLA announced the peer volunteer review process now calledInternational Tutor Training Program Certification.

  10. HISTORY of Tutor Training http://www.ncde.appstate.edu/index.htm In 1992, the National Center for Developmental Education at Appalachian State University completed a follow-up study of over 6000 students enrolled in basic skill development classes nationwide. The study cited that "tutor training is the best programmatic predictor of successful college developmental education [basic skill development] programs" (Maxwell, 1993). Maxwell, M. (1993). Evaluating academic skills programs: A sourcebook. Kensington, MD: M. M. Associates.

  11. HISTORY of Tutor Training Journal of Developmental Education article, “Program Components and Their Relationship to Student Performance” J D E http://www.ncde.appstate.edu/resources/reports/documents//program_components.html In 1997, Hunter Boylan, Leonard Bliss, and Barbara Bonham identified the following: “ …centralized [or well-coordinated administrative] structure, tutoring with tutor training, and ongoing and systemic program evaluation are related to more [student] success variables than others.”
