Comprehension*
Monday, November 146:00 - 8:30 p.m.
We'll take an in-depth look at your student's comprehension issues ranging from vocabulary development to critical thinking skills. Adult learners who are having trouble with comprehension may say they can't remember what they read. Often it is not a matter of memory, but rather a sign of poor comprehension.  Please bring your tutor handbook to this workshop.
*This is a required in-service for tutors.






Helping Your Student Prepare for the GED
Saturday, November 199:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Your student aspires to complete the GED… and needs your help to get there. At this in-service, tutors will learn about the parameters of the GED test, specific and general test-taking strategies, and confidence-building tips for your adult learner. If you have particular GED questions that you would like to have answered at the in-service, please e-mail them to kelli.kalberer@mcckc.edu

Thursday, December 16:00 - 8:00 p.m.

  Moving New Writers in the Write Direction
Tutors will learn new methods for literacy students who have
little to no background in writing. As part of this discussion,
Casey will demonstrate verbal and non-verbal activities that
can be used to help new writers jump-start their writing lives.
Tutors will learn how to keep new writers writing, directions for
what to do once writing takes off, and strategies for responding to
the work of  developing writers. Participants will receive print
and Internet resources to help them put ideas from the session
into practice.
