Supporting Distance Learning: the role of the associate tutor in management self‐development

ABSTRACT

This paper is concerned with understanding more clearly, the part played by a partnership between Associate Tutors (ATs), who would normally be LEA Advisers/Inspectors and Facilitators (Deputy Headteachers) in the learning support network for students who are following an accredited management self‐development INSET course using distance learning materials. The evidence was collected from six ATs and one facilitator using a semi‐structured interview technique.
