Adult Literacy Volunteer Tutor Program Evaluation Kit

TUTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

Directions For Use

The aim of this questionnaire is to help the program improve its practice by getting your opinions. The results will help program staff to plan any necessary changes and may be used to seek further funds and other resources.

There are three parts to this Questionnaire:

1. a cover sheet requiring brief factual information;
2. a central section consisting of six statements (A to F) against which you are asked to appraise your program; and
3. an end sheet for open comments about your own experience and about the program.

The six statements have been chosen from a larger program evaluation questionnaire and most directly affect tutors. The statements and conditions reflect what is currently considered to be good practice in the adult literacy field by practitioners and researchers.

There are three sections (a), (b) and (c) after each statement.

1. Read the statement then read the list of conditions which follow in (a).
2. Check off the elements or conditions which apply. Then move on to (b).
3. Consider carefully your rating in (b). You may circle an intermediate position between two numbers if you wish. Then, go on to (c).
4. In (c) indicate any conditions which you think could be improved based on your experience. If some items in the list are missing from your program but you think it would improve the program to have them included, then indicate that in (c).
   
   If a statement or conditions do not apply, or you do not know whether a condition is present, indicate that on the sheet.
