91ÇÑ×Ó State College’s Peer Tutor Program in September celebrated its first five-year recertification from the College Reading and Learning Association.

91ÇÑ×Ó State’s program earned certification from the CRLA on March 21, 2002 and a three-year renewal certification in 2003.

Since earning the accreditation, 91ÇÑ×Ó State has had 59 tutors earn certification through CRLA’s International Tutor Program Certification.

Frances Gonzalez, 91ÇÑ×Ó tutor coordinator, said the certification provides recognition and positive reinforcement for tutors’ successful work and sets a standard of skills and training for tutors.

Tutors may earn certification on three levels – regular, advanced and master. Each level requires and additional 10 hours of training and 25 hours of experience.

Gonzalez has been a member of CRLA since 1996 and is president-elect for the CRLA Heartland Chapter.
