This past week was a short week (No class Friday) but also long time wise because of parent teacher conferences. It was so great meeting so many parents and talking about how great their kids are and some specific ways we can work together to give their child the best education possible.
Mentor Monday was great. We went through We vs You language to try and emphasize how the mentors need to show the mentee they are on their side and in it together with them. After we went through a few scenarios of how to put that type of language into practice when talking about different topics with their mentees.
Tutoring Tuesday was great, students were really motivated to catch up in other classes. Mostly because they knew their parents would find out during conferences what work they were missing.
On Wednesday and Thursday we worked on Trust Bridges. The whole idea is that we want our mentoring relationships to have a great foundation and support throughout, just like a bridge, so that the relationship can last and withstand the good and the hard times. The students really got into it and created some great bridges!
Thanks for reading and tune in next week!
