Discussion Board Overview

You are required to submit a response to each of the following questions down below (1-5) as you prepare for tutoring. The response to the five questions should be submitted first. Then read your classmates postings and respond with questions or reactions. There is not a specific length but try to be thoughtful or helpful in your replies/questions. Please try to reference your readings as support for your thinking. In other words cite your resources when posting or responding. You have your texts and resources (wiki page) to use as research. At this point you should be reading the parts of the texts that will enable you to prepare for tutoring. Preview the table of contents in all three books and read the sections that deal with teaching and tutoring.

Please check your email over the coming weeks as you write and respond. You can sign up as a member and have emails sent to tell when new postings have been added.
