Middle School Mentoring Practice

Middle School Mentoring Practice

Practice: The mentoring practice is conducted with volunteers from among the high school students and 7th and 8th graders. Particularly the students from 5th and 6th Grades are provided with mentoring support as part of this practice. Students needing both academic and emotional support throughout the middle school are matched with senior students who have gone through similar experiences and regular meetings with each other are arranged. Academic skills can be supported, as needed throughout these meetings or peer support on for friendships is provided.
