An excerpt:

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools rapidly expand to support student learning, their integration into tutor training is a natural next step. This article offers a multidimensional approach for learning center practitioners to explore generative AI in training and education. It emphasizes using AI to enhance individualized tutor training, evaluation, and AI literacy. Aimed at improving personalized feedback for large tutoring teams, the article outlines four key applications of AI in learning centers. These include an AI-augmented workshop series on core tutoring skills, the use of a multiliteracy pedagogy to foster critical AI literacy in writing center tutors, hands-on training for speaking consultants to supplement feedback with AI, and training Graduate Teaching Assistants in math assessment using AI to free up time for direct student support. Though varied, these examples share a common goal: integrating practical AI tools to enrich human-centered tutor training.
