Create a School-Based Mentor Program
-
Research has shown that every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult. For some students, a school-based mentor program can provide just that by matching students from difficult backgrounds with an adult community member to serve as a role model, supporter and friend. A mentor program can be an effective tier 2 or tier 3 intervention for students in need of additional supports. Hear detailed information about how to implement this valuable intervention at your school. Download the handouts.
