A Handbook for New Tutors
Authors: Halifax Community Learning Network
Many new tutors who volunteer with literacy networks feel nervous, scared or anxious and frequently wonder what they have gotten themselves into. This handbook tries to bridge the gap between a new tutor joining a literacy program and beginning his or her tutor training program. The author's intent is to show the new tutor as realistically as possible what it will be like when he or she starts turtoring, what will be expected of the tutor, as well as what the tutor can expect from the learner and the program coordinator.
This handbook includes information about
- Getting started with your learner
- Building a successful tutor-learner relationship
- Helping your learner set realistic goals
- Planning lessons and assessing your learner’s progress.
- Finding resources to use with your learner

26. The Sky's the Limit (2006)
A Human Resource User Guide Targeting a Specific Client Group
Authors: Random North Development Association
This Human Resource User Guide focuses entirely on a target client group that have specific barriers to entering/re-entering the local labour market (i.e. minimal education, limited work experience, low self-esteem/confidence, social barriers, etc).
There are a variety of challenges that many in this target client group have to address prior to successfully entering or re-entering into the local labour market. These clients can be categorized as “marginalized clients” and in some instances they are clients that have “fallen through the cracks” in our society. It would be unfair to say that all clients in the target group have the same level of challenges or issues.
