Publisher's Synopsis
Encourage students to excel in their areas of interest and talent by building a mentor program. Mentoring is appropriate for many types of academic settings: public schools, private schools, and homeschoolers. And, ultimately it helps students discover their "voice" or who they are-a rare event for many students. In this comprehensive kit, you will find methods for helping students identify their areas of interest, strategies for recruiting effective mentors, and ideas for helping nurture mentor-mentee relationships.
This comprehensive kit provides step-by-step instructions for starting and maintaining a mentor program in your school. From selecting an appropriate program model, finding mentors, and identifying interested students, to evaluating results, this kit provides a practical, hands-on approach.
The Mentor Kit includes all the materials needed to develop your own schoolwide mentoring program. This complete program has been used for more than 15 years in schools across the country by teachers, counselors, and administrators who wish to offer their students a strong mentor program. The kit includes one teacher's guide and reproducible forms.
