Through this tutor training, you will:
- be able to articulate the characteristics of an adult learner
- have the ability to differentiate a tutoring session for a traditional vs. non-traditional student and
- be able to provide motivation for adult learners

CREATIVITY & CRITICAL THINKING - Life Skills Training for High SchoolYetunde Macaulay
Creativity and critical thinking are fundamental to students becoming successful learners. The ability to think critically is an essential life skill; as the world changes at an ever-faster pace and economies become global, young adults are entering an expanding, diverse job market.

Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya: From Darkness to Lightbaidya
Share your knowledge, go from darkness to Light .
In a formal teaching environment, various content and subjects are exchanged between teachers and learners. A student’s learning is assessed only through the contents -its retention, its depth, and width. However, none of these give any measure to the amount of luminance of light that a learner has acquired and passed on during his/her learning processes using content as a vehicle. Thus the acquired luminance of light acts as the learner’s North Star of life – a guiding path. With this, the learner achieves success, builds family, contributes to society, and becomes part of the bonafide citizenry of any nation.
Managing Yourself as a Successful Student
Do you wonder what the best approach to your learning is?
Do you want to learn how to become more organized with your studies and your time?
This workshop will show you how to effectively organize yourself and your time. You will also learn how to maximize your study strategies and tailor them to your individual learning needs.

In order to foster the academic skills development of students at all levels of academic ability and to increase student learning and retention, Northeast Center faculty and academic support collaborated to design innovative approaches which integrate in-person academic support into credit-bearing studies. As a result, we have developed several embedded academic support models using learning and peer coaches to assist students in their acquisition and enhancement of writing skills, academic research strategies and content area knowledge. This presentation will explore the ways in which we have embedded academic support into two different study groups, highlighting the benefits for both faculty and students, and examine lessons learned. Our intention with the presentation is to bring the audience into this conversation, sharing the models we use for our peer coach training and embedded academic support approaches. Participants will be asked to reflect on their own centers and take away ideas for how they might adapt these models to start/enhance their own embedded academic support efforts.

5. Perry’s Scheme of Scheme of Intellectual and Ethical Development DUALISTIC STUDENTS are those who see the world as a place of absolutes such as right or wrong, true or false. Knowledge is seen as existing absolutely. Dualistic students tend to think of their role in terms of "right" answers and the role of the professor as providing those answers. These students will present judgments and evaluations as if they were self-evident, without the need for substantiation. MULTIPLISTICSTUDENTS recognize that there are multiple perspectives to problems. However, they are unable to evaluate each perspective adequately. A typical multiplistic response might be "We're all entitled to our own opinions," or "We're all good people." Argumentation ends, or is avoided, with the multiplistic attitude. RELATIVISTICSTUDENTS see knowledge as relative to particular frames of reference. They show a capacity for detachment; they look for the "big picture," think about their own thinking, and evaluate their own ideas as well as those of others. Frequently, by seeing alternative perspectives, they have difficulty making a decision. Authorities are seen as people who can and should be questioned. COMMITTED STUDENTSsee knowledge as an integrated part of who they are and what they have learned from others. They combine personal experience and reflection as they engage in the learning process. Students at this stage realize that learning is a commitment and it is an ongoing, unfolding, evolving activity
