Things either the teacher or the Mentored Pathways Staff do to make a similar project more successful.
Maybe a less structured and non cohort based program will benefit the student by increasing the mentoring period and tailoring the telementoring to individual students
This teacher seems as committed as others I have had the pleasure to collaborate with through the telementor program. I can think of nothing to suggest to make a similar project more successful. Keeping in touch,letting mentors know what is happening to the students as well as clearly articulated goals for the project are three things the teacher should continue to do.
This was a great project. Perhaps it would help if the students looked at more than just two schools (maybe they could research as many as they want and then narrow it down to 3)
Feedback regarding the quality of the student's final project as well as suggestions for improvement.
The student started off very strong and was able to absorb and assimilate all the extra reading I sent her way. Towards the end there was a dropoff in enthusiasm and the communications from the student reflected that. Maybe the program was too structured or too intense for this particular student.
I thought she did a great job with her final project.
The final project looked good from a power point perspective. I was unable to determine how affective the student would be in delivering the actual presentation. However, given the messages I received from him regarding his plans and preparations, I suspect he did very well.
Quality was solid for a year 9 student.
Elizabeth is a very intelligent and articulate young lady. It's been a joy to work with her - she makes it easy. She has two weeks of class yet and I hope to see her final piece of the project soon (power point slides and a poster)
Overall experience in the program.

Why or why not.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience, although unlike a live mentoring session I did not get to enjoy the feedback in person. That took a little getting used to.
I am always delighted with the new "friends" I find at the other end of my telementor screen. The students are terrific and the experience is positive, enriching and rewarding.
Feel satisfaction to assist in such an important milestone In the student's career and life. Happy to share or leverage my experience or networks to assist someone else's growth and professional development.
I love mentoring young people because I like to encourage them in any way that I can
The most rewarding aspect of participating.
When I could feel the difference I was making in the students thinking by the students comments.
In this case, the passion he felt for the topic - homelessness - was touching. He did an effective job of communicating his commitment to changing the plight of the homeless in this country.
Seeing the journey experienced by the student. Being able to practically assist their tasks & project work.
The regular communication
The most difficult aspect of participating.
The remote connection made it a bit impersonal.
It's always time management.
