This Study Group offers CALP staff the understanding, tools and resources they need to begin training volunteer tutors to work with adult literacy learners in their community. This session will focus on Creating Learning Partners (CLP), which is a comprehensive training manual developed by literacy practitioners for Alberta's literacy and learning programs.

Participants will:

• learn the key steps, activities and strategies for delivering effective, engaging and relevant training for tutors
• draw on their own experiences and work together to explore the content and facilitation strategies outlined in the Creating Learning Partners manual
• be able to facilitate their own tutor training for new and experienced tutors

This online Study Group will review the content offered by the Training Your Tutors one day face to face training workshop over 3 online sessions.
