It is the intent of this manual to show how a volunteer tutoring program can be implemented and maintained in any community that desires to individualize institutional learning programs through tutoring. The manual attempts to describe the requirements and development of a tutoring program in generic terms; however, it often cites examples from the program on which it is based, the ESCAPE Tutoring Program at the University of Oregon. The manual is divided into four sections that focus in turn on important aspects of a tutoring program. Section 1 outlines the essential steps in structuring and implementing a tutoring program. Section 2 offers guidelines for volunteer tutors. Section 3 outlines the structure and content of personnel training. And section 4 provides basic guidelines to teachers using tutors. Each of the sections can be read apart from the other; however, the reader seeking a full perspective on a tutoring program is advised to read all the sections. (Author/JG)
