Goals & Objectives of this Program
Helping others is only part of it- we want you to get something out of it too! In the mentoring program you will learn all about our school and how to maximize your own experiences at Pioneer, all the while learning valuable life goals to share with your sixth graders. In the mentor program we will focus building our skills in 3 key areas:
Knowledge: Mentors are required to have an awareness of school activities, as well as overall familiarity with the student binder reminder. You must be good problem solvers who are able to think and explain information in more than one way.
Interpersonal Skills: Mentors must demonstrate effective skills in working collaboratively with your peers. You also need to be able to assist the sixth grade student in learning communication and problem solving skills.
Organizational Abilities: Mentors must demonstrate abilities to manage tasks, maintain schedules, manage time, and guide the tutoring sessions so the sixth grade student will learn to study efficiently.
