Course Outlines

Lay Tutor Training The National Lay Tutor Training Scheme is being replacedwith a system of undertaking a professional qualification in Adult Learning.Therefore, there will be no internal training offered nationally in future.The only internal course will be the one for Discussion Leaders which is suitable for those who wish to lead short workshops at Branch level.This is OK for other Regions who do not widely use lay tutors but is not appropriate for Scotland. Here we have a large number of lay tutors, some of whom do formal tutoring on Branch and Regional courses. A number of these are still waiting to attend the compulsory Equalities Module and another of these will be offered to those on the waiting list. The L&OCommittee are agreed thatwe need to continue a programme of training lay tutors but we need to firmup what that training will be. In the meantime those who have already registered interest will be invited to attend the usual 5 day introductory course but there will be no course generally advertised at this stage. For the future the Committee envisage continuing the 5 day course and the Compulsory Equalities Module but eliminating the requirement to produce a portfolio and have a formal practice assessment. This is likely to be replaced by a protocol around tutor personal development including a period of co-tutoring and some compulsory Branchwork.Look out for further information.
