Section 5.0:  COMMON GUIDELINES for FACULTY and STUDENT TUTORS

The following guidelines are provided as a facilitation tool for Faculty Tutor and Student Tutor collaboration in the Foundations Lab.

  1. SUBJECT FOCUS:  Student Tutors are expected to try helping all students.
  2. OUTSIDE OF COMFORT ZONE :  In the event the Student Tutor feels uncomfortable assisting the student in a specific subject or topic, and there is an available Tutor with greater experience on the specific subject or topic, then that Tutor should be requested to assist the student.
  3. STUDENT TUTOR SUBJECT STRENGTHS: As a rough guideline, (keeping in mind that helping all students takes precedence), students are divided into 2 groups according to the classes they completed, and experience, and therefore the subjects they feel most comfortable supporting. These are listed below:

    -- Math-48C group -- focus supporting Math-180, Math-105, Math-48A-48B-48C

    -- Math-10 group -- focus on supporting Math-217, Math-17, Math-10

 

Section 5.1:  GUIDELINES SPECIFIC to STUDENT TUTORS

The following guidelines are specific to Student Tutor responsibilities:

  1. ARRIVAL and DEPARTURE:  Each student is required to present themselves to the Faculty Tutors when they arrive at the Foundations Lab to start their shift. ad also let Faculty Tutors know when their shift is completed and the are leaving.
  2. WRITE TUTOR NAME ON THE BOARD: Student Tutors sould write their name on the Board (with the text "(Student Tutor)" in parenthesis, next to their name. Upon departure, Student Tutor should erase their name from the board.
  3. BADGES:  Each Student Tutor should be wearing a badge (even a hand-written one) identifying them as a "Student Tutor". (Student Tutor should ask the STEM Center Front Desk Hosts to make them a badge)
  4. ISSUE RESOLUTION:  In the event of any type of issue, in a case where Student Tutor cannot resolve, or simply has a question, Student Tutor should consult with a Faculty Tutor.
  5. KEEP YOUR FOCUS on STUDENTS NEEDING HELP:  Student Tutors should not engage in activities that distract them from focusing on helping the students, such as doing their homework or having headsets on, or talking on their mobile telephone for non-emergency reasons, or chatting on their laptop for non-job-related topics.
    --Student Tutors  should be walking around the room actively engaging with the students. 
    --Focus has to be maintained at all times on the students.
  6. FRONT DESK TEMPORARY STAFFING:  Student Tutors should help with the Front Desk (just as Faculty Tutors do) duties when the Front Desk Student Host happens to be briefly absent. This includes calculator returns, cleaning and tidying up the room when not busy, and keeping order. 
  7.   FOUNDATIONS LAB OPENING and CLOSING PROCEDURES:   Student Tutors shuld help with opening and closing duties, especialy when the Front Desk Host is absent.

 

 

Section 5.2:  GUIDELINES SPECIFIC to FACULTY TUTORS

  1. SUPERVISION and GUIDANCE:  Student Tutors are under the supervision and guidance of Faculty Tutors at all times.
  2. TRAINING:  At times of low or no activity, Faculty Tutors are encouraged to consult with the Student Tutors, sharing their experience and providing guidance on topics such as:
    • understanding student learning styles
    • understanding student concerns
    • providing encouragement to the students
