about webinars

purpose of webinars

The purpose of Webinars is to advance ICLCA's mission to support learning center professionals as they develop and maintain learning centers, programs, and services to enhance student learning. The series gives learning assistance professionals a chance to participate synchronously in a relatively inexpensive and high quality professional development experience designed to foster their growth in the field of learning assistance.

Presenters do more than share information; they bring the audience into the conversation about their topic allowing for networking, idea exchange and consultation. The webinar format allows for learning center professionals to learn in real time from and with peers without the burden of travel costs or as much time away from work as a conference would entail.

what to expect

Webinars take place in real time via a web-based presentation transmitted over the Internet using a conferencing software platform called "Go-to-Webinar."

Strategic Tutor Training: Training Tutors to Think, Adapt, and Respond

07/25/2025 12:00 | Mark Woolwine (Administrator)

Title:

Strategic Tutor Training: Training Tutors to Think, Adapt, and Respond

Date: Friday, July 25, 2025, Noon EDT

Presenter:

Dan Sanford, Executive Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, Boise State; Author “ The Rowman & Littlefield, Guide for Peer Tutors” and Co-author “Guide for Learning Center Administration”.

Description:

Tutor training is about more than orientation and basic skills—it’s about shaping how peer tutors respond to the wide range of cognitive and emotional needs they encounter. Effective training prepares tutors to recognize the cues students bring into sessions and equips them with a flexible set of strategies to meet those needs with confidence and care.

This session will explore key approaches to designing and revising tutor training curricula. We’ll look at evidence on how training impacts real tutoring behavior and discuss how to build training that models the very practices we want tutors to use. Participants will leave with new ideas, adaptable strategies, and a broader understanding of how thoughtful training design can elevate both tutor growth and student learning.
