The tutor training program we use at Southwest State is certified by CRLA address: CRLA Tutor Certification, Gladys Shaw, Coordinator, U.T. ElPaso, Tutor and Learning Center, 300 Library, El Paso TX 79968. The other component which we draw from is the SI Program from Kansas City. Instruction materials and classroom strategies are taken from a variety of textbooks used over the years in our study skills courses. The most freguently used is the Master Student from College Survival Inc. David Ellis PO Box 8306 Rapid City, SD 57709. Daniel Walther's Toolkit for College Success has some good templates and graphic organizers which we use often. We distributed brochures to area schools, colleges and agencies to advertise the course and conducted a summer session which was very successful. We are seeing numerous possiblilties for the course and new tutoring services for the area as a result. It is very exciting to watch it develop.
