Tutor Rules and Responsibilities

A. Note to My Tutors
I am proud to be the teacher/supervisor/employer of each and every one of you. You were all hired because I saw that you had excellent work ethics, and because I sensed in you a heart-felt dedication to children. I know you sincerely want to empower children with the ability to read well, and I am proud to work with you.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. Because it does!

B. Rules Reminder

1. Can’t Tutor?? Remember you must make three phone calls

1. Your school (and teachers)
2. Joy (337-9882) Do NOT have Joy come to observe and find you are gone!
3. Your head tutor

2. Can’t make it to workshop?? Call the office (335-5594) and explain the problem. Don’t let this become a pattern!

It is your responsibility to get in touch with a fellow tutor or your head tutor to find out what you’ve missed. Joy does not have the time (she’s sorry) to individually catch each of you up.

C. Bad Weather?? If the ICCSD schools cancel, America Reads office hours and Workshop are also cancelled. If school is cancelled on Wednesday, both Wednesday and Thursday will be cancelled.

D. No Public School?? Be sure to check the ICCSD calendar so that you don't show up to an empty building.

E. Workshop -- Please come to workshop prepared. When tutors have done their assignments, workshop is a rich and valuable experience.

F. America Reads Webpage-- www.uiowa.edu/~amreads You can access our calendar, regular assignments, and a rich variety of resources! This is a wonderful resource to use as well as your binder!
