This book describes in detail the rationale and assumptions, the methods and procedures, and the goals and strategies that go into the establishment of a Tutorial Community School (TCS). The goal is to help other schools adopt these concepts, totally or partially. A sequential approach is offered for implementing each of the major Tutorial Community Project (TCP) concepts. Chapters two through five of the book are comprehensive "how to" manuals for the four major concepts involved in a TCS: (1) tutoring and self-learning; (2) shared planning and decision making; (3) parent involvement; and (4) task oriented feedback. Included in the discussion of each major concept are the goals, underlying assumptions, general and specific considerations, methods and procedures, materials, personnel, time, costs, and potential problem areas or pitfalls and how to avoid or overcome them. Chapter six discusses implementation strategy and procedures. It is emphasized that the tutorial community concepts can be implemented in a variety of ways to meet different conditions, and that both traditional and alternative schools will find some or all of the TCP concepts compatible with their own philosophy and goals.
