[MOSAIC] Convincing colleagues/was round robin

[Angela Almond]

Maybe have a tutor training session.  You could get together with other
teachers and invite all of the tutors, volunteers, teacher assistants, and
any regular substitutes.  You could then model and teach them how you
teach, what they can do to help, and the reasons why.  The math teacher in
fourth grade did this last year to teach everyone how she wanted them to
have the students work out word problems and to get everyone to use the
same vocabulary.  This way, you won't have to single your TA out.
