| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tutoring in the Educational Setting Q: Who decides if a student needs tutoring services, and where are the goals for tutoring stated? | A: The need for tutoring services is decided during the IEP meeting by the educational team or the classroom teacher, and the goals must be clearly stated in the IEP. |
| Q: When might tutoring be more appropriate than interpreting services for deaf or hard of hearing students? | A: Tutoring may be a more appropriate support service than interpreting when the student needs extra help understanding subject matter, rather than language or communication support. |
| Q: What does tutoring in a subject matter area not directly address? | A: Tutoring within a subject matter area does not directly address language, communication, or problems with interpretation. |
| Assessing Student Understanding Q: Why doesn't a student’s ability to repeat a concept necessarily show understanding? | A: A student's ability to repeat a concept doesn’t mean they understand it. Memorization can occur without comprehension. True understanding is shown when the student can answer questions spontaneously or demonstrate understanding in their own words. |
| Q: How can a tutor effectively help a student understand a concept? | A: A tutor must be able to apply the sequence of tutoring remediation in order to help a student understand a concept. |
