"Teachers As Mentors" PSBM Praise
"Teachers As Mentors" Professional School Based Mentoring Philosophy (PSBM) recognizes that our highest risk students DO NOT constitute a homogeneous cluster of youth with like characteristics. The PSBM philosophy skillfully and willfully addresses the gifted learner with anxiety issues to the angry learner with family problems.
- The "Teachers As Mentors" PSBM Philosophy is intended to provide assistance to teachers and students, not an additional burden.
- The "Teachers As Mentors" Philosophy is NOT a “Here we go again program!” There is invested support over the next 1-2 years to improve the academic and personal lives of our highest risk students.
- Campus referrals will go through a school-based committee (The “Failure Is Not An Option Committee”) to determine students in greatest need within the school.
- "Teachers As Mentors" will be assigned to campuses and maintain a caseload of 5-10 students.
- "Teachers As Mentors" receive on-going specialty professional development, intense supervision and monitoring, and can participate in book studies leading to certification as a Certified Professional School Based Mentor.
