This document, which draws on the findings of a survey of further education (FE) colleges in the United Kingdom and case studies of 9 FE colleges, presents good practices for managers of tutoring programs and tutors. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the changing role of tutors in the post-16 sector and the importance of recruiting, training, and helping individuals evolve into dual teacher/tutor roles. Chapter 2 discusses the following topics related to supporting learning: tackling absenteeism; developing learner confidence; reviewing progress; developing comfortable, confident, and competent tutors; cultivating clarity of purpose; providing tutors with relevant and up-to-date information; and developing learning skills. Chapter 3 is devoted to managing for quality and consistency. Chapter 4 emphasizes the importance of improving consistency among tutors and lists traits and resources needed by all tutors. Chapter 5 presents nine good practice case studies focusing on a variety of issues, including the following: responding to absence and at-risk learners; using value-added data; developing customized, well-organized materials; developing procedures to obtain relevant, up-to-date information for reviewing progress; managing for consistency; and achieving consistency in tutoring for part-time learners. Lists of colleges contributing to the study and colleges responding to the Tutoring Network survey are appended. (MN)
