Student Support and Counseling

Tutors often play a counseling role in volunteer programs, and some use administrative volunteers or paid staff to provide student support.  Some call this person a Persistence and Transition Specialist.

At last week's program management workshop sponsored by VALF, the question came up from a tutor, "How much time should I spend talking with my student during the tutor session?"  What do you think?  Add your comments here.  To post a comment, click on the word in small print below "comments" and share your thoughts on this.
