Mentor+Program+Overview


 * Basic Overview of the BMES/GA Mentor Program **

Concept of the Glynn Academy/Burroughs-Molette Mentor program.
 * 1) BMES 5th grade students will receive remediation via high school mentors from Glynn Academy every Wednesday for the next 14 weeks.
 * 2) BMES students are tested each week by means of CFA (Common Formative Assessment) in the Areas of Math, ELA, and Reading. Teachers of the students assess student gains and needs improvement data over the past week and suggest accommodations for their students.
 * 3) The students listed above have been chosen to work with Glynn Academy students. The GA students will be used as a source to help the above listed BMES students improve, enhance and maintain their skills in the appropriate subject area as indicated by the weekly CFA’s.

BMES students:
 * 1) Work to cooperate and concentrate on improving CFA assessment deficits.
 * 2) Follow the PBIS and R.O.A.R program initiated by the BMES administrative and teacher staff.

GA Mentor students:
 * 1) Work to cooperate and concentrate on improving CFA deficits.
 * 2) Journal entry and chart data upon the completion of each visit.
 * 3) Operate under the same guidelines as the PBIS and R.O.A.R program currently in place at Burroughs-Molette Elementary**. NOTE:** This includes: no cell phones, proper dress and attire, and no talking in the halls.
 * 4) It is important that we all respect the established learning environment currently in place at BMES.
 * 5) Give your undivided attention to the student you are mentoring. The mentor program is used to provide a service and your job is to serve the students of BMES.

Teachers at BMES:
 * 1) Provide CFA data to the mentor teacher so that they may best serve you and your students.
 * 2) Any suggestions to improve the mentor program would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to offer up suggestions so that the mentors may best serve BMES.

Administrators at BMES:
 * 1) In conjunction and approval of Mr. Lanham, Ms. Lilliston and Ms. Pressel; Bob Martin (principal intern at BMES) will oversee the program.
 * 2) Data collection throughout the program will be available in order to assess the value of the program.
 * 3) Weekly email communication with participating teachers and administrators, students and mentors will occur in order to better assess the program’s success.
 * 4) A survey will be given to participating teachers, mentors and participating students upon the completion of the program.
