help in developing tutor training seminars

[Isabelle Thompson <thompis@mail.auburn.edu>]

I am a newly appointed director of the English Center at Auburn
University.  Although the Department Head and I played around with
development of our Center last year, the 1997-98 academic year will be my
first real shot at doing something interesting and worthwhile.

The most worthwhile thing that I could think of to start with is to begin
tutor development seminars.  The tutors in the Center are all graduate
students; our major constituency is undergraduates enrolled in freshman
composition, Great Books courses, and advanced writing courses.  I am
hoping for some advice from those of you who are at similar universities
and who have already established tutor development seminars.  Can you give
any clues for on-line help or can you send me any paper (I'll copy it and
send it back to you)

I am very pleased to be a fledgling member of such a good group of
people.  ( I've been list lurking for a while.)
