Adult Literacy Tutor-Researchers As a part of a study of the Relative
Effectiveness of Adult Literacy interventions research study lead by
researchers in the Research and Development division at the Educational
Testing Service, we are seeking part time adult literacy tutors (up to 20
hours per week) to become part of our literacy research team.  Tutors will
participate in a training workshop and follow up meetings to prepare to
teach one of three literacy interventions to adult literacy and English
language learners.  Tutors will then administer one intervention in one on
one tutoring sessions, meeting each student for one hour and fifteen
minutes, three times a week.  Tutoring cycles will last approximately 45
to 60 instructional sessions with each participant.  All tutoring will
take place at various literacy locations in the Philadelphia area.
Tutors will be responsible for preparing for tutoring sessions based on
the instructional program guide and scripts of each intervention,
monitoring student progress, and keeping daily logs of activities. All
tutoring resources and materials for tutoring will be supplied.  Tutors
will also be trained and responsible for administering short, computer
administered reading assessments at regular intervals with adult learners.
Applicants must have a degree from an accredited college or university in
education, psychology, linguistics or a related field. Experience in
literacy tutoring or teaching preferred. Excellent command of the English
language and comfort with technology required.  Flexible schedules and an
ability to travel to various local teaching sites preferred.  This job is
being offered as a part time position, with an opportunity for full time
work in the future.

To apply, please send a cover letter for the position, resume, and list of
at least three professional references to Dr. Jane Shore at

will be eligible for consideration.

twelve months or more.  We are looking for someone to become a part of the
research team.  We regret that we are not able to respond to each resume

background and experience.

Thank you.
