Standards and Guidelines for Tutors
(Download a signable copy of this document here)
As parents and Instructors of our children working together for the
success of this program, we must be sure that we are in agreement
with respect to the expectations of the tutors. The following should
be agreed to in its entirety by each tutor at the Academy.
·
We believe that to be a faithful disciple of Christ involves having
a personal relationship with Jesus our Savior. This is evidenced by
daily prayer, knowledge of the scriptures, and attendance at a
Christian Church on Sundays.
·
We believe that human life is sacred and we profess a pro-life
worldview.
·
We agree to faithfully fulfill the commitment to do a
self-evaluation quarterly in private prayer.
·
We believe that as tutors we are called to a consistent and model
standard of behavior which exemplifies a Christ-like attitude at all
times. This interior peaceful attitude will extend to our exterior
appearance, which will follow the dress code for instructors as
outlined in the handbook.
·
As instructors at the Academy, we understand that our positions are
not only inclusive of Academic teaching, but spiritual and human
formation as well. To this end we recognize the necessity of
holding the children responsible for their behaviors on levels both
social and academic. Class time may at times need to be focused on
problems or concerns with the children’s behaviors. This could take
precedence over class material. We understand that while away from
home, these children are “our” children and should be treated as
such. The integral formation of the whole child is paramount to our
success.
·
We understand that private consultations and discussions between
tutors and parents regarding any concerns about the students are to
be kept confidential. Bringing a concern to the department head or
Administration for further intervention would not be a breach of
this confidentiality and is encouraged whenever beneficial.
·
We understand that to meet the expectations of the parents and the
Administration, we need to be well prepared for our classes. We
understand that the Homework Assignment sheets are to be handed in
according to the guidelines set forth by the administration by a
time to be announced.
·
We understand the importance of checking the initials on the HAS and
agree to check initials regularly.
