Mentoring
I know who my mentor is and can explain the purpose of the mentoring group.
Mentor: a teacher at Eagle Academy that supports & encourages students to manage their own learning in order to maximize student potential. This person is your go-to person for questions or needs.
Mentee: a student at Eagle Academy who owns their learning through goal setting, time management, and self-advocating. They contribute to the group through participating in activities the mentor provides.
