This is a complete training for tutors consisting of the two separate activities 1 (role of tutor) and 2 (practice conversation).

Tutors discuss and developed a shared understanding of student counselling within their study program, and what the role of the Thermos-dashboard is. Additionally, they will practice and share ideas about guiding conversations with students using the Thermos-dashboard through deploying the T-GROW-model.
