什么?

一名导师在学年期间每周与同一名学生见面30-45分钟. 导师在一天中方便的时间见面，并且不会把学生从关键的课堂上拉出来. 导师通常会花一部分时间来建立个人关系，一部分时间来培养学术技能. Mentors help students build a dream for themselves. Mentors begin by just talking with their students to build a relationship. Computer programs and games may be used to reinforce academic skills. While the primary purpose is not to tutor students, 导师和学生可能经常在老师的指导下做与学校有关的工作, especially if the student is behind in some area. 活动的范围由所形成的关系的深度和广度来定义.

在哪里?

The mentor program is an IN-SCHOOL program only! Mentors do not meet individually with their students off school grounds, take them to the movies, 去公园, 等. Mentors can meet their students at school during open houses, 作为监护人参加实地考察和其他可能有多个学生参加的学校活动.

If the student changes schools, the mentor typically follows the student to the new school, unless significant schedule conflicts make this impossible.

与谁?

Schools recommend students for the program. Parents/guardians give permission for the child to participate. There typically is not contact with parents or guardians.

当?

导师们被鼓励做出为期三年的承诺，这样他们就可以陪伴学生从三年级到五年级. Considering the realities of the workplace and mobility of families, a one-year commitment is considered minimal. 当 a mentor cannot continue, 更换是有保障的，因为目标是让学生继续接受一对一的接触.

Continuity is most important. It is important to meet every week with the student. 由于业务原因而错过预定拜访的导师通常会在同一周安排另一个会面时间.

How do I know that I’m making a difference?

Mentors talk and/or meet with teachers to evaluate progress and adjust activities.

Each individual school should have a designated space(s) for mentoring. This may be the library, a classroom, cafeteria, gym, 等. 学校辅导员应该告诉你去哪里进行辅导. 请注意，指定的指导区域可能会根据每天/每周的时间而变化. 如果您没有被告知在定期安排的会议期间在哪里指导您的学生，请联系KABA.

确保你的学生在你离开指导之前在学校的最好方法是联系学校办公室并询问. KABA要求辅导员要求老师在学生缺席或参加实地考察时通知导师, but given the fact that teachers are in front of the classroom most of the day, 如果某个学生不在家，他们可能不会记得当天通知导师.

什么 if my student moves out of the area?

If your student moves out of the area, and you would like to mentor a new student, 你学校的辅导员通常会有一些学生已经在等候名单上了, so you shouldn’t need to wait long. If they are unable to identify another student at your school, 请联系KABA，我们可以为你安排另一所学校的新生.

How do I know how my student is performing in the classroom academically?

你学校的辅导员会给你学生老师的联系方式. 你可以随时给学生的老师发邮件或打电话，询问他们在课堂上的表现和行为. Some teachers may be more engaged in or educated about KABA’s mentor program than others; therefore, the level of interaction with different teachers will probably vary. If you are not successful in communicating with your student’s teacher, KABA鼓励你让你学校的指导顾问知道并请求他们的帮助.
