Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 25 years, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership has provided the youth mentoring field with a set of researched-informed and practitioner-approved practices for creating and sustaining positive and impactful mentoring relationships and strong program services. The fourth edition of "The Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring"" ("Elements") represents the current evidence-based standards for running a safe and effective youth mentoring program. This guide serves as a supplement to the "Elements" and includes additional recommended practices focusing on boys and young men of color (BYMOC). The creation of this guide is motivated by a recognition of MENTOR, My Brother's Keeper Alliance (MBKA), practitioners in the field, and researchers specializing in mentorship of youth of color that BYMOC are better served with a targeted set of practices, which represent enhancements of those in the original "Elements." The recommended practices found in this guide are emergent, based on recent research and recommendations from researchers and practitioners in the field. The "Guide" is divided into two parts. Part one offers an overview of an approach to mentoring BYMOC, including a description of a strengths-based and liberatory approach to mentoring called "critical mentoring." This section discusses how this approach can support BYMOC, and concludes with a rationale for this new, emerging set of recommended practices. Part two includes sections dedicated to each of the six Standards of practice in the fourth edition of the "Elements." Each of the six sections begins with a description of the original Standard and the rationale for its importance, followed by a list of the additional recommended practices, and a discussion section that explains their theoretical basis and potential application in programs. The following are appended: (1) Benchmarks and Enhancements of "The Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring""; (2) Glossary of Terms (with Explanation of Relevance to Mentoring); and (3) Methodology. Includes the fourth edition of "Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring"."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My primary reason for writing this book is, if I can’t stand and help my own community, why should I expect anyone else to do so?

Download or read book Mentoring African American Males written by Dr. William Ross and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring African American Males provides important black male research and student performance data to guide the efforts of those who accept the enormous task of standing in the gap to increase black male achievement. Dr. Ross provides guidance for individuals and institutions embracing the important role of developing mentoring programs or serving as a mentor to youth. However, what makes Dr. Ross’ work such a critically important book for any individual or institution considering such a role is its insight into the social-cultural framework within which mentoring must occur at every level from elementary school through college. Equally insightful is the structure that such programs must take in response to the socio-cultural constructs of the families, communities, and institutions where they will occur. There are far more quantitative studies than qualitative on the topic of mentoring. This text addresses that discrepancy and provides the results of several qualitative studies on African American males. There is hardly any that offer a mixed method perspective that combine quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. This text reports on the research results that are qualitative in nature in addition to some that are from a quantitative and mixed method approach.
Download or read book BAM Boys Advocacy and Mentoring written by Peter Mortola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, our understanding of the fundamental differences in child development, behavior, and emotional maturity between boys and girls has increased dramatically, and as a result, many gender-specific interventions and support programs have been developed to meet the needs of parents, teachers, and mental health professionals. However, these all take the form of responses designed to minimize an already disruptive behavior pattern. What has been needed is a pro-active program whose goal is to instill positive skills and patterns in 'at-risk' boys, rather than waiting to address problems after they are already visible. The BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring program fills this need by providing the first guidebook for group facilitators who want to lead preventative boys groups designed to foster communication skills and emotional connections. Based on years of research and refined over the course of countless sessions run by the authors, the program has been field-tested and tailored for use either in the school setting or outside. Over a series of group sessions, participants are encouraged to understand their emotions and interpersonal interactions without losing a sense of 'maleness' as a result of emotional growth and communication with peers about personal issues. The activities are designed to be engaging across age groups, and the individual exercises and program structure can be modified to fit into any existing school- or community-based mentoring system. The guidebook contains all of the information and tools a facilitator needs in order to implement and maintain these boys groups.
