Want more ideas on how to incorporate collaborative learning into your tutoring sessions? Join us and learn how to incorporate technology, creative writing and collaborative reading into your lessons. Whether you’re a technology guru or a technology novice we’ll share creative ideas on using blogs, Facebook and Twitter in tutoring.
Our first guest presenter Ellen Prewitt, will show how to use creative writing to increase comprehension and reading skills. Ellen is a former lawyer, published author and facilitates a writing group at the Door of Hope, a support center for homeless men and women.
Josh Clark, Head of School at the Bodine School, will share innovative ways of reading collaboratively with your learner. Josh is an exciting presenter that takes on the challenge of ‘working to undermined a “one-size fits all” educational mentality.’
