Tutor training research

[Bryan D Edwards <bde@christa.unh.edu>]

	My name is David Edwards.  I am a graduate student at UNH, and I 
work in our writing center.  This semester, I am working on a research 
project concerning tutor training methods in writing centers.  For those 
of you responsible for tutor training, may I ask you the following:
	1.  What are you using to train tutors (books, handouts, 
video/audio tapes of sessions, course vs. meetings, etc.)
	2.  What theories about tutor training have you used (or 
developed) and to what success?
	3.  What failures have you experienced with training materials or 
strategies?
	4.  What, if any, new ideas or methods have you experimented with?
	5.  Finally, would you be willing to send samples of your tutor 
training handouts/manual/bibliography/syllabus?  If so, please e-mail 
your physical address and I would be glad to send a SASE and 
reimbursement for any copying expenses.

	Thank you for your assistance with this project.  I will send a 
copy of the finished document to anyone who wishes it.
