​​​AI vs. You & I:  Affirming Other Ways of Knowing through Tutoring: Helping Students Focus and Flourish through Dialogue

​​

​​​​​Kayla Bernard, Sociology Tutor; Brandon Downer, Writing Tutor; Lisa Estreich, Writing Coordinator (will serve as

facilitator for the roundtable); Taemona Hall, Writing Tutor; Genesis Keel, Writing Tutor; Nadine Todd, Writing Tutor; Jason Lopez, Writing Tutor; Cordelia Vohnout, Writing Tutor; Pam Sebastian Ridge, Writing Tutor

​​​​​​​

AI can provide you with all the archived knowledge in the world, but it doesn’t know how to empathize, make decisions, or draw from other ways of knowing. In this roundtable, Lehman Instructional Support Services Program tutoring staff will share examples and invite participants to discuss how caring human interaction lays the groundwork for the learning task at hand.  We’ll consider how tutors can acknowledge and affirm unwritten forms of knowing through active listening. Tutors will also address how they facilitate students’ learning by mediating their relation to technology such as ChatGPT.

The Evolving World of Tutoring Part 1: The Evolution of Tutoring Centers

​

Jarrett Taylor, BCC Writing Center Tutor and Computer Lab Technician

​​​​​​​​​​

Over time, tutoring centers not only change but they evolve. Evolution affects how tutoring centers run. Though they evolve from what they were before, the central purpose of the tutoring center has not changed to help students with a particular subject. There are many factors that cause tutoring centers to evolve, such as physical/environmental issues, and internal and external changes. To show how tutoring centers evolve, the Bronx Community College Writing Center will be used as an example.

The Evolving World of Tutoring Part 2: The Evolution of Tutoring​​​

​

Jarrett Taylor, BCC Writing Center and Computer Lab Technician

​​​​​

Tutoring has evolved over time. The concept of tutoring has existed for thousands of years. If today's tutoring were to be compared to the tutoring that was done in the past, many differences would be noticed. Before getting into those differences, this session will begin by reviewing the definition of tutoring. Then the session will briefly show the history of tutoring. This session will also investigate the various areas that have evolved over time.
