Week 4 at ACHS

Week four at ACHS brought about some exciting new mentor-mentee relationship developments, as several more mentors joined our classes this week. Many of the students began to gain a clearer understanding of their roles in the class through several in class exercises on mentoring and the YESS program. Students also had the opportunity to spend some one on one time with a mentor or mentee.

This week we spent time learning how to read transcripts with the help of the mentors. Mentors helped mentees to understand their transcripts and the ACHS graduation requirements. Mentors then assisted mentees in mapping out their credits from last year in order to help them identifying which credits they were missing. The mentees then came up with a plan to make up any missing credits with the help of the mentor they were working with. 

Mentors and mentees also had the opportunity to learn about their roles in the classroom. Students spent time discussing what they believed the role of a mentee or mentor was in and outside of the classroom. Mentors and mentees then shared what they had discussed with the class. Students were then encouraged to think about how these expectations fit in with their shared agreements from the beginning of the year.
