Duration: 1 Full Day (8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
Participant(s): Tutors, Tutor Trainers, Directors, Coordinators, and Administrators
Prerequisite: None
Cost: Contact the NTA
Requirements: Purchase Workbook per participant that contains the examples used during the workshop and additional activities for reinforcement.
Tutors: Understanding Compassion Fatigue is unique and interactive workshop that helps reconnect tutors with their original sense of purpose in serving students and making a difference for their students both personally and academically. All too often we become cynical when it comes to the stories that students tell and situations in which they place themselves. All too often, the tutor is called upon to be the “Hero,” with the student expecting the tutor to assuage the situation and somehow ensure that the student passes the paper, exam, or class. The reality is that we get tired! It may become difficult to invest that extra part of ourselves needed to help our student succeed. As we know, often academic knowledge is just not enough. Tutors are people of generous spirits and big hearts. We want to help and we want our students to become confident, independent learners. This workshop helps rejuvenate the “tutor’ spirit and demonstrates how tutors can get reconnected The facilitator combines a unique combination of research, exercises, and personal insight to model techniques and strategies in this unique professional development workshop.
