tutor of the day

Miriam the tutor is new this quarter. Two girls in her tutorial group were distracting themselves and others. We talked about it in debrief and a couple of the tutors offered suggestions. Miriam eventually decided to sit in between them without making it a big deal. Problem solved. It was respectfully done and effective. I like that we talked about it as a tutorial team, tutors took the lead in helping each other, Miriam was responsible and effective and the students were treated respectfully and performed better as a result.
