Mentoring Program (FMP),

Part III

Although we have not published everything that we received, we think Woodward's peer mentor outline and expectations are exemplary.



"Freshmen Mentoring"

OBJECTIVE
To provide every 9th grade student with a personal mentor and advocate to help him/her personalize the educational experience.

GOALS

           * Question and answer sessions

           * Getting to know you activities

           * High School transition activities

     3.   Develop a connection to the traditions of WHS

     4.   Assist students in improving/maintaining grades

Suggestions for Advisory


*    Mentors MUST take a leadership role/ownership of the advisory group.

*   Sessions should be a fun and enjoyable experience.

*   You may provide small treats and candy, etc.

*   Avoid a lecture method of presenting information.
