Description¶

To implement PALS, tutoring training is provided through AIR: users visit the Fuchs Tutoring Training Request page and "indicate the type of training (e.,g., reading or math), the grade level requested, the number of people to be trained, and your location". A trainer then makes contact and "can negotiate dates". This is the article's stated route for obtaining the professional development the program requires.
