VERIFICATION FORM
Please complete a "Verification of Tutor Program(s)" for each program you want to be certified. For example, if you wish to have Program A certified at Levels 1 & 2, then you would complete the verification for Levels 1 & 2 for Program A's application. If you also have a Program B that you wish to have certified at Level 1, then you would complete a separate application for Program B, Level 1 that would also include a separate verification form.
Please refer to the document titled "CRLA'S REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION OF TUTOR PROGRAMS" for a complete listing of all the
LEVEL 1, 2, AND 3 requirements for each program to be certified.
The "necessary documentation" called for under each criteria consists of patterns of evidence of the what, how, and when of the training program. It could/should include any or all of the following that can help the CRLA Tutor Certification Committee verify your program(s):
4) sample worksheets: Communication: Ten Steps
5) handouts, worksheets: Communications: Listening
The better documentation you provide the easier it will be for the committee to certify your program(s); however, brevity is appreciated due to mailing requirements, so condensed but complete documentation is requested.

Tutors are evaluated in accordance with the following procedures. The
appropriate center personnel
re responsible for supervising and evaluating each
tutor. The formal evaluation process includes:
1. Tutor Evaluation and Self Assessment Tool (TESAT) after
four and nine weeks of tutoring. Tutors will use the Tutor
Evaluation and
self-Assessment Tool (TESAT). Tutors are expected to draft notes reflecting
upon their progress
as a tutor and be prepared to discuss this and the results
of the Tutee Feedback form during their supervision sessions.
2.
Tutee
Feedback Form ( "How Are We Doing At The Tutor Center" ) after four and nine
weeks of tutoring.
3.
For any
tutor who conducts small group Tutoring Sessions, appropriate faculty members
will observe one session each
semester and meet with the tutor immediately after
the session.
4. Tutor Evaluation Report. The center coordinator will
meet with each Tutor to discuss their self-evaluation and Tutee
Feedback
Forms. Tutors receive a written evaluation reflecting the information
discussed in the session. The results
of the evaluation are used to assist in
tutor development and to focus further training/supervision topics to build
confidence and skills.
5. Tutors are asked to provide an evaluation of their
experience as a tutor each year. Student feedback is valued and
is
essential to the decision-making process for determining needed program
adjustments to enhance the quality
of our service.
