Things either the teacher or the Mentored Pathways Staff do to make a similar project more successful.
Provide more information about the program. At the beginning I used the document posted on the project area and helped my mentee with his research on careers. Nonetheless, after that I believe I just had to help the student with his school projects and I was confused because besides presentation and communication skills, I didn't know how to help the student because I don't know the school standards.


Feedback regarding the quality of the student's final project as well as suggestions for improvement.
I think the project was high quality. My mentee faced challenges and he worked hard to solve any problem and understand the topics.

Would you consider mentoring new students in the future?
1 - No
0 - Yes


Why or why not.
Not at this time. My current role at work demands extra time and energy. It has been really hard to contact my mentee twice a week. I'd like to have more time not only to answer emails but also to read more about the topics.


The most rewarding aspect of participating.
My mentee was great, very smart and dedicated. I was surprised with his abilities and his way to solve problems.


The most difficult aspect of participating.
Time and most projects are not my area of expertise.
