September is here and we are ready to relaunch our program again. We've got three returning mentors--Steve, Oumar, and Mary--and we've also found two terrific new ones, Said and Toni.
We spent the last week training here at the office. In addition to discussing the program and the mentor role, we also had Sara talk about working with English language learners, Pete discuss proficiency levels and standards for working with such learners, and Ginny do a first aid refresher with us. Steve and Mary also led discussions on immigrant youth, potential workshops and field trips, conflict resolution, and situations that mentors may encounter with students.
Several of us also spent some time this week setting up our classroom at the school. It was great to see many familiar faces among the school faculty and staff. We're looking forward to seeing the students tomorrow on the first day of school.
