Steve sent us an information sheet. He and Gail put it all together about what we could expect, what the criteria were for the units, and what as volunteers we would be expected to do and not to do. They gave us some suggestions about how we might respond. I thought it was put together very, very well. The electronic mentoring program is part of the school's improvement plan, recruits volunteers from the school's business alliance, encourages the use of technology, important to the school's technology consortium, and gives students insights into their mentors's careers, which ties into the school's career development initiative.
Technology provides a twist that makes it much more contemporary.
It takes the classroom out to the community, which is what is enjoyable about it.
