Dear Colleague in Education: The National Tutoring Association (NTA) is the oldest and largest association dedicated solely to the tutorial discipline. With nearly 15 years of experience, the NTA has worked to set a standard of professional excellence and accountability for tutors and academic coaches. To that end, we work to train and certify tutors, tutor trainers, and program administrators at several levels of competency. The NTA also certifies tutoring programs and tutorial curriculums at various levels. The requirements for certification are listed on our website (www.ntatutor.org). We believe that all individuals working with students in any sort of tutorial situation should be held to these stringent requirements for both training content and practical experience. In this way, we can be better assured that the tutors serving our students are performing at the highest level of professional competency in accordance with the NTA Tutor Code of Ethics. The NTA offers training and certification opportunities at our annual conference and at one-day regional training events. Regional trainings are scheduled to be held at Loyola University Chicago on February 2-3, 2007 from 8:30am to 4:30pm and at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, VA on February 23-34, 2007 from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A sample agenda and all registration information are available on our website (www.ntatutor.org). We invite you and your tutorial staff to take advantage of this opportunity to become nationally certified thereby taking your program to the next level of professionalism and excellence. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Once again, all certification and event information is available on our website. I look forward to seeing you at this training event. Sincerely, Dr. Sandi Ayaz NTA Executive Director and Certification Chair 863-529-5206 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask]
