Literacy Tutor Training Workshops
LDC, Inc. routinely organizes tutor training workshops at Hope Church, in Sturgeon Bay, usually from 4:00- 6:00 or at a time agreed upon by the participants and the trainers. These workshops are led by qualified tutor trainers and mentors that introduce the participants to research-based practices for successful language-learning.
​
Literacy Tutor Round Tables
LDC, Inc. holds monthly tutor round tables at Hope Church, in Sturgeon Bay, on the first Thursday of every month from 4:00- 6:00. Tutors are encouraged to drop by and stay as long as they are able. These sessions have proven extremely useful in keeping the tutors informed about methodology, upcoming events and any issues of relevance to the community we serve. They are also a great time to share experiences and an important motivational tool for all.

FACTS!
