This checklist is designed to help tutors systematically enhance their skills and effectiveness in teaching, ensuring they are continually improving their methods and approaches to better serve their students.
Reflect on your current teaching practices and identify specific skills that need enhancement, such as communication, subject knowledge, or engagement techniques.
Outline clear, measurable goals based on the identified skill areas. For example, aim to improve student interaction by implementing new questioning techniques.
Find books, articles, workshops, or online courses that align with your goals and can provide valuable insights or strategies.
Develop a step-by-step action plan detailing how you will acquire and practice the new skills. Include timelines for each step.
Put the new strategies into practice during your tutoring sessions. Be mindful of how they affect student learning and engagement.
After implementing new strategies, seek feedback from students or peers to assess the effectiveness of the changes.
Take time to reflect on the feedback received and determine if further adjustments are needed to your approach or strategies.
Keep a record of your progress towards your skill enhancement goals, noting successes and areas for further improvement.
Periodically review your goals and revise them based on your progress and any new skill areas that may have emerged.
