Drawn for this page. With the family’s consent, tutor and school share goals and progress so the student gets one consistent plan.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the date.
  2. Get the family’s written consent before contacting the school.
  3. Note the contact, the plan and how often you will share progress.
  4. Mark each step and log each contact.
  5. Send a progress note when the summary says it is due.

What the checklist is for

Consent first

Under federal privacy law, a school generally needs a parent’s written consent before sharing a student’s education records with an outside tutor. Ask the family to sign the school’s release, or a consent that names you, the school and what may be shared.

One language for each skill

When the tutor uses the same strategy names and vocabulary as the class, the student practices one approach instead of two. A short list from the teacher is enough.

Boundaries

Tutors help students learn; they do not complete graded work. Agreeing that openly with the school and family protects the student and the tutor.
