In a nutshell:
– The way we’re grading rubric area C3: Engage Student has changed
– Please take the survey below about who you communicate with most
Guideline Change:
When a student is struggling, it can be tempting to ease their anxiety by fixing a mistake or finishing a tricky step. When this happens, the student is taking a backseat in the session and misses out on a valuable learning opportunity.
Instead, we need to see encouraging “we” language to reassure the student and methodical, guiding questions or examples adapted to their knowledge gap.
By holding tutors accountable for doing the work of the student, we aim to challenge both students and tutors. Please see Tutoring Template 2.2 to ensure you fully understand these adjustments (shown in red below):
