Overview

These activities are designed to help you:

• Think about how mentors can best be leveraged in the different aspects of a student’s application at your high school.
• Create a plan to collaborate with mentors and school-partners to support students.

Consider connecting with another Program Manager to do the activities together, compare notes and share ideas.

Learning Activities

1. Review the Mentor Roles in the College Process handout.

2. Review 12th Grade Pair Phases Document.

3. Download a copy of the Site-Based Planning document. Which information do you already know? What information do you still need to find out? If you are working at a site for the first time, talk to your manager about the resources that exist for you to learn about the school (ex. Partner Site Dossier). Save a copy to your personal Box file to update and refer to in your conversations with your manager and school-partner.

4. Download and update the Collaboration for Postsecondary Process (Fall) Spreadsheet with the roles you think you can play and your mentors can play. Add as much information as you currently have about what your school partner is doing. Save the completed copy to your personal Box file to update and refer to in your conversations with your manager and school-partner.

5. Schedule a meeting with your school-based counseling staff. Use the Site-Based Planning document to ensure you understand how iMentor fits into existing postsecondary supports and the Collaboration for Postsecondary Process to plan with your school partner.
