for Levels 1, 2 and 3 as a certified tutor training program by the internationally recognized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crla.net\/\" class=\"broken_link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">College Reading and Learning Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (CRLA).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Center for Academic Support has worked hard to develop a tutor training program that meets CRLA\u2019s rigorous standards and has successfully completed the International Tutor Training Program Certification peer review process. Achieving certification means that the CAS has met CRLA\u2019s high standards for tutor selection, training, direct service and evaluation as an integral part of their overall tutoring program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cStudents are tutored in a way that they understand, using language that they understand,\u201d said Susan Garrison, director and writing coordinator for the Center for Academic Support. \u201cWe take tutoring seriously. Being a good tutor is more than just being good in a subject area or willing to help others. It means meeting students where they are with the material and helping them build on their knowledge so they can ultimately become independent learners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the fall 2021 semester, 435 students utilized CAS services for 2,345 visits totaling 2,284 hours. Of these, 186 direct tutoring hours were provided in an online format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more than thirty years CRLA has been a leader in learning assistance, reading, and academic support programs with almost 1,300 members and over 2,000 certified training programs worldwide. Missouri Western will host the 2022 Heartland CRLA Spring Conference April 7 and 8 for members in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Missouri Western State University is a student-centered learning community preparing individuals for lives of excellence through applied learning.
