Fast Track Mentor Analysis

One of the points that is stated in our book is, student expectations must be raised. When a student is fighting one of those barriers that McKinstry stated, it will be more difficult on those students to raise their expectations if they do not have a good support system. McKinstry states that educators often lack specialized skills to address severe behavior and learning challenges and that the time to handle those issues doesn’t exist; which will result in the students having little to no help.

      I selected my student from one of my students that I viewed to have some of the worst behavior in the class. I am at Bond Elementary School which is an intercity school. Most of the school’s student population comes from subsidized housing (the projects). I am in a first grade class of nineteen students. While performing my duties at in Mrs. J Williams Classroom I became very eager to observe as well as work with a student by the name of Ja’Von W. Ja’Von is a six year old, I recently found out that his mother is on drugs and is being supported by his sixteen year old brother. Many of the students that I have observed in the classroom have had behavior problems and issues with their

Contrasted with the previous placement, the composition of students was generally the same ability level, however they were considerably less inclined to have conduct concerns. In this classroom, there were tw0 children who received SPED instruction for reading, and two more for Math, and two more who received accommodations for both, totaling 6 students. One student was medicated for ADHD and was able to manage his behavior with support from myself and my cooperating teacher. At that point in time, I did not have students who qualified for any programs such as PASS (Positive Approach to Student Success), so my teacher an I elected to utilize the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) philosophy in order to address concerns about behavior or academic performance that could be linked to a traumatic or chronic life event(s). All of these processes come together to support Bailly’s commitment to developing responsible leaders and

You are the athletic director of a budding high school. Currently there is a six and a half foot junior with incredible athletic ability, earning national recognition. Weekly you are receiving phone calls from newspaper and television reporters, as well as fielding questions from college coaches and community sponsors. You see the potential in this student, and it leads to recognition, acclaim, and possibly future financial gain. There is, however, one small problem; the student-athlete is currently failing three of six classes for the semester. As it stands, if the school year finishes without change in the grades, your future of fame and fortune will be ineligible for the senior season.

If exceptional grades and numerous excellence awards are to indicate anything, I have succeeded academically thus far. However, such achievements are only possible because of my work ethic and determination. I pride myself on submitting my best work, pitting myself against my past performances. I remember my tenth grade English class; I was writing essays every week. I took every critique from my teacher and considered it for the next piece. Experience I gained from that class carried over into eleventh grade, where I achieved the highest English grade I have ever made. Even now, I look back at my older essays to help me write, so I know what works and what to avoid. Perseverance through school and desire to improve have carried me well, even through activities outside of my education.

Lauren Baker spent her college years cheering from the sideline, but that isn’t the case anymore. The former University Of Massachusetts Amherst cheerleader is the new Assistant Dean of the Azure House at Brockton High School. She has held the position since December 2015, but was officially named as the full time Assistant Dean this past September.

I entered my school academically oriented and athletically lackadaisical. But after seeing how the school took inner-city kids and taught them that athletic victory and academic victory lead to success, I decided to be victorious in both ways… and this meant hard work. Sophomore year it meant playing piano for school-wide chapel every week and tutoring Rico, our soccer team’s goalie, in Pre-Calculus. Junior year it meant starting the school’s first book club, joining the wrestling team, and gaining ten pounds of muscle in the gym. And senior year it meant becoming a varsity soccer captain, winning our team’s first Regional Championship, and being the first student in the school’s history to receive the AP Scholar Award… though I still struggle with Spanish and Tupac references here and

With maturity comes wisdom, and the importance of education becomes more clear as I look to further my academic career. Understanding the need for dedication in school has allowed me to recognize the great impact the same drive in every aspect of my life will have on my future. It is often thrown upon students to study and turn assignments in: students are taught to jump through hoops to earn. As I continue to mature, However, I have realized that there is more to an education than a grade. In fact, the immense number of factors that can go into or come out of academics has greatly impacted the person I have become. For example, I feel as though it is essential to know that I am more than a grade. I am more than a score. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. perceived and portrayed this idea in his famous quote. He helped pave the way for greatness through education by driving his success through thinking critically having the character to reach his goal of a true education.

My brother is a nice young man. He truly is. But my older brother has made many mistakes. He often forgets to study, which results in him failing tests. He is forgetful, which results in him missing important opportunities that he could participate in. And finally, my brother has made some dumb mistakes. He’s gotten drunk on school nights. He’s forgotten to take his medication and as such has gotten dangerously sick. But, the lessons that my older brother has learned from all of these mistakes have propelled him towards a bright future. The merit of these mistakes is that, if my brother has made these as an adult, he could’ve lost a job, a home, a family, but, by making these mistakes in high school, where he is surrounded by other teenagers who have messed up like he has, he has learned his “lesson” without being rendered unstable and unsure. High school provides an environment that encourages mistakes so that students can be prepared from adult life as they have been educated about their mistakes and learned the consequences of these

I am interested in participating in the NAHSE mentoring program because I would like to get feedback on developing a strategic plan for career advancement. I am hoping that I can gain realistic and practical advice on how to better shape and approach my next career move so it can align with my overall career goals. I hope the mentor/mentee relationship is able to allow me to have a wise ally that can help challenge me to see all possibilities, not just the ones within my reach.

The reading spoke about building quality youth mentoring relationships as the quantity of mentoring programs grow at a rapid level. The reading provided a break down on how mentoring relationships can effectively work when the mentees aren’t going through vigorous trainings as they once did. As I read it, I thought about my first week, how it went, and how I can be a better mentor to the girls I will be seeing twice a week for the next few months.
