Our philosophy in the Learning Center is based on our beliefs
and values about students and learning. It is expressed as we work
toward our goals.
We believe:
- All individuals can learn to learn more effectively.
- Developing confidence enhances learning.
- People need to feel comfortable and safe in order to learn.
- Becoming active learners will foster independence in learning.
- People benefit from a variety of tutoring situations, such as individual, small group, shorter, and longer sessions.
- Learning is a life long process.
- It is never too late to learn!
We value:
- The rich diversity of ages, cultural, social, language, and religious backgrounds of our students, faculty, and staff at MCTC.
- Learning new ideas, approaches, theories, and new ways of using creativity—we are excited about learning.
- Working together to solve problems, assist each other, and provide support.
Our goals are:
- to help students develop confidence.
- to encourage active learning.
- to foster independence.
- to guide students in developing a variety of ways to learn more effectively in school and on the job.
- to model flexibility in learning and tutoring.
- to collaborate with students, other tutors, faculty, and staff;
- to work without judging others, accepting them and making them feel comfortable and competent.
