Here's an example of that partnership. A volunteer tutoring program in Philadelphia, several years ago, changed its training design. Instead of training volunteers and then matching each one to a student, they matched the student and volunteer first and sent both of them to training together as a team.. The student then had many of the same tools as the tutor, and most important, this communicated right from the start, that this was a partnership of two adults, not one person poring knowledge into another, but two people in partnership to help one learn to read better, and to help the other learn how best to help...and maybe learn some other things, too.
