SpiritedKidZ Tutors or Facilitators

Posted Mon, 2009-11-30 19:45

The SpiritedKidZ will learn from their respective tutors in an informal way. The tutors are perceived as “models”, they therefore need to offer “models” to “inspire”. The option of training the facilitator to act as the tutor can be explored on a case by case basis. The SpiritedKidZ LearnsPace has a list of screened SACE registered teachers with formal special education background, willing to tutor the SpiritedKidZ. These teachers have already been through an induction period to familiarize them with the culture of the SpiritedKidZ LearnsPace.
