Option 2

Sample Goal Setting / Self-Reflection Exercise

Take a moment to think about what you want to learn throughout the course of the tutor training workshop. Write these items down in the column. A sample has been done for you. Share these with the facilitator. Whenever possible, the facilitator will try to ensure that you are given the tools necessary to achieve your goal!

At the end of the program, review the contents of your portfolio and see how it can demonstrate that you have achieved what you set out to do!

Objective Work to be done to achieve objective Additional concerns
To learn about different learning styles Read session 3 information in the tutortraining manual; took questionnaires to find out what my learning style was. Need to consider how my learning style will affect how I teach the learner. Once I get to know my learner, I can review the information. The facilitator told me that I could get additional learning style tests on the internet from http://www.nald.ca/clr/csa/appx_d.htm

Note: the tests are often not appropriate for learners (they are culturally biased and may not be valid if the learner translates too much of the vocabulary.)
