New Exploration Group -- Becoming a Master Tutor

On February 13th, we had our planning meeting for a new Exploration group with an evolving name -- Becoming a Master Tutor. This is a very enthusiastic and energetic group that is extremely excited about exploring how each of us can develop more effective tutoring skills. (This is right up my alley! Even though I have been tutoring since I was a wee lass, I just love learning about how others tutor and how I might improve my skills.) Some of the things we will be exploring are how to connect with students, how to connect students with what they're learning, recruiting and retaining students (groups and 1:1 tutoring), and how technology can make life easier for our students and for us. We'll also have a free form discussion on immediate concerns. Cool, hunh?

If you would like to join us we meet Tuesdays, 12:10 to 1:00 p.m. in my office. Bring your lunch, bring your ideas, bring yourself, bring a friend -- leave charged up! If you have any questions, please see Matt T. (aka MathMatt), Nick K., or me.

This group sounds great!! Unfortunately, I'm not in the office @ that time. Will you be sharing your insights on the blog? I'm very interested to participate virtually.

What have you done so far? Thanks for including me!
