About the Tutorial

The Teacher's Tutorial Agreement:

"I agree to follow the instructions and to complete the tutorial."

Follow the instructions means:

Reading the following two required topics.

Creating agreements that work (more).
Accurate appropriate acknowledgments (more).

Although you may initially choose one or more optional topics you are not required to complete them.

Sending feedback when prompted.

Sometimes you will be prompted to share your thoughts with the Tutorial Coach on the password protected Teacher's Tutorial Message Board.

You are agreeing to send feedback within 72 hours* (Post a Reply) each time you are requested to do so, usually at the end of a key paragraph, a topic, or when you decide to stop a session for the day. A feedback message can be as short as, "I'm doing fine." or, "I hate this." or, "Will get back to you no later than Monday."

Complete the tutorial means:

Read all the pages and send feedback when prompted. It takes between 5 - 15  minutes to read each topic, such as Creating agreements that work. The pages, content-wise, are pretty much the same size they have been up to this page. 

The entire tutorial takes approximately 4 hours. This includes the time it takes to compose and send feedback. You can stop and come back as many times as you wish to complete the tutorial. 

We do not notify anyone of any aspect of your participation.

Important:

If you are currently in therapy, please inform your counselor/therapist that you are participating in a leadership-communication-skills education program.

Please do not do the tutorial with someone looking over your shoulder. Talking with another (especially a teacher with failing students), discussing it, while you do the tutorial changes the education process from experiential to conceptual. Part of what causes a problem to persist is that communication has become conceptualized.

English must be your first language (native tongue), or, you must have considerable peer agreement that you are as fluent in English as you are in your native tongue. The tutorial uses some words that are not commonly used in university speech-communication courses, consequently this can present a comprehension challenge even for fluent America English speaking educators.

* We are agreeing to reply to each other within 72 hours. If this is not possible then let the other know by when (NLT — not later than) they can expect a reply. This has to do with control, supporting each other in being complete, not waiting, wondering, etc.
