If you would like to check out the courses mentioned, the link has changed. The whole Web site has been redesigned and has just been launched this week! These courses can be found at http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/tln/courses Donna Elder National Center for Family Literacy delder at famlit.org -----Original Message----- From: professionaldevelopment-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:professionaldevelopment-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of Nadia and Kevin Colby Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 2:49 PM To: The Adult Literacy Professional Development Discussion List Subject: [ProfessionalDevelopment 2024] Re: [Professional Development 2017]Re: Volunteer Tutor Training I took some of the Verizon courses and found them interesting. They do fill gaps for those who are trained in other fields but are also literacy volunteers. They also help new teachers as the materials are well written and courses can be customized to personal needs. I think I enrolled in three courses (about 2 years ago) and devoted different parts of the day to each one of them. I got the information at the Literacy Assistance Center in New York City but unfortunately I don't have the link anymore. I tried the one provided in the previous message and it is no longer valid. The best part of these courses, considering the limited funding that a lot of programs have, is that they are absolutely free. This is a great on line resource for tutors.
