Things either the teacher or the Mentored Pathways Staff do to make a similar project more successful.
It is always helpful to be reminded at the beginning of the week of what the student will be asked to work on that week, or if the students will be out for some reasons (tests, vacations, ...). That helps set the expectation for the week and help mentors ask the right questions to the student.
This project went smoothly.

Why or why not.
Even if I cannot always spend as much time on the project as I would like, I hope that the support that I provide helps make a difference. Each project helps me improve my mentoring capabilities and I know that if there are students out there waiting for a mentor, I can be there to help.
Rewarding experience.


The most rewarding aspect of participating.
Being able to provide some help and guidance and sharing some of what I learned over the years that could be helpful to a student.

The most difficult aspect of participating.
It is always frustrating not getting as much information as you would like on what's going on with the project.
