The in-school tutoring program is designed to provide students with academic assistance from peer tutors during study halls, before and after school, and regular class periods. Peer tutors receive an overview of the peer tutoring program, participate in an orientation, keep records of tutoring sessions and learn basic information in learning theory. A notation of this service will be placed on the student’s cumulative record. Assignment as a peer tutor in the Special Education program will meet the seven credit requirement if peer tutoring occurs during a class period. Placement in the Special Education program requires an application and possible interview.
