Progress Reports
As you tutor, your program manager will provide you with additional forms, such as this online form and deadlines for submitting these progress reports. As funding sources grow more competitive, these records are even more vital to your literacy organization's ability to survive.
You may be asked to sign a tutoring agreement at the start of your volunteer duties requesting that you send these progress reports in quarterly or monthly.
Do not discount the importance of progress reports! They allow a program to:
- Monitor your progress with your student.
- Provide additional support or intervention when needed.
- Better meet the needs of the students using tutor suggestions.
- Improve the adult literacy program based on all the information you and your fellow tutors send in.
- Demonstrate a positive impact in the community in order to solicit funds and support from individuals, corporations, and foundations in the region (without this funding, the program could not exist).
