We are here to support your program.

Teaching Resources

Weekly iMentor class is an important part of our program model. We want iMentor class to be fun and engaging. We also want our students to use class time to connect with their mentors and to also build skills and knowledge that will help them navigate the college process. 

PMs are classroom teachers who also provide pair support and advising in class and at our schools and they need to know the basics of leading a class and keeping their students engaged. The following resources are intended to help PMs develop their teaching practice.
