This book was released on 2021 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to create a program that brings college and career awareness to incoming 9th-grade students that have been identified as being at risk of dropping out of high school, being retained in the ninth grade, and those who are less likely to be promoted to the 10th grade. Students who have been identified will significantly benefit from having a college mentor. Mentors will bring college and career awareness to 9th-grade students who have been identified as being at risk. The mentors and mentees will have the necessary resources such as computers, career and university requirements, financial aid information, information on the college application process, and career exploration. Mentors and mentees will also learn about college expenses and different career pathways and choose what best meets their needs. Having a mentoring program will help 9th-grade students develop relationships with their mentors to improve academic achievement and college and career awareness. The College and Career Pathway Mentoring Program will bring awareness to 9th-grade students of higher education's importance and promote career mindfulness. Having a college student as a mentor will hopefully help establish a positive relationship cultivating, improving, and facilitating academic achievement. The program will help mentors improve and increase their leadership skills through mentoring 9th-grade high school students. Through the College and Career Pathway Mentoring Program, the students in the program will have academic and emotional support from their college mentors and school counselors that will, in turn, enable students to have a smooth transition from middle school to high school. To better understand the needs of at-risk 9th-grade students and the importance of developing a College and Career Pathway Mentoring Program, it is essential to review and analyze the issues involved in the research, which will be discussed in the following chapter.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students without caring, positive role models often make poor decisions. School personnel are aware of the need to help these students be productive members of society; therefore, they examine strategies and reforms to reach them. A mentoring program is one such intervention that is gaining in popularity. This research study examined a mentoring program entitled the LISTEN (Linking Individual Students To Educational Needs) Mentoring Program that I developed in 2003. For the purposes of this research, the mentoring program was developed and implemented in one middle school in Northeast Tennessee. The goal of the LISTEN mentoring program was to identify at-risk students and provide them with positive adult role models, who were not necessarily their classroom teachers. The mentors worked with the students to assist in developing positive behaviors and better decision making skills. The implementation of LISTEN was assessed throughout this study. The second component of the investigation focused on program perceptions by teachers and students. The final component of this research centered on recommendations for improving the program and enhancing the programÂs components for further development. This experimental study analyzed archival data from 2004-2005 to determine the effects of the LISTEN mentoring program on identified at-risk students in grades 6 through 8 in a Northeast Tennessee middle school. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of a mentor program on students grade-point average, discipline referrals, and attendance records. Findings indicated that there were significant differences in students grade-point averages, school attendance, and discipline referrals from 1 school year to the next among students who participated in the LISTEN mentor program. Students grade-point averages increased significantly from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005 for 5 of the 6 six-week grading periods and for the entire year. Mean numbers of student discipline referrals and.

Download or read book The Impact of Mentoring African American Middle Grade Males written by Linda W. Washington and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful book gives suggestions on increasing academic rigor of the middle school male student, increasing consistent student attendance, and decreasing discipline referrals. This book gives situational examples and possible suggestions to help single parents, teachers, administrators, board members, and the male student to overcome obstacles to be successful. Washington believes that bonding should initially take place early in the relationship of the teacher to student and student to teacher. Much like a client coming to a store for specific items, the store owner has to get to know his customer in order to effectively serve this individual for continued customer satisfaction. The same principles apply for teachers getting to know their students. Oftentimes, this notion is not developed because of constant new initiatives being introduced to teachers without lasting results. Hence, mentoring of students can eliminate many problems schools face. Using the suggestions offered in this book will cause increase academic performance and attendance, while decreasing discipline referrals tremendously.
