Mentoring Program (FMP),
or a Friendly Meeting Place
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
1. Assist freshmen in the adjustment to high school
* Question and answer sessions
* Getting to know you activities
* High School transition activities
2. Develop the mentor/freshman relationship so freshmen see mentors as an additional resource
3. Develop a connection to the traditions of WHS

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.
Again thanks to Mrs. Hurst for sharing, Dec. 2013.
