Personalized Tutoring, Advising, and Mentoring Services
After School Tutoring
Students are to report to the classroom on Campus for Bridge Builder staff after school. We will start off with a brief meeting on daily expectations, student progress, student achievement, and any upcoming events that students need to know about. After that, students will have an inclusive environment to do their homework, receive tutoring, and gain extra support from others to help them with their strengths and weaknesses in their subject matter.
Measurable Goals
- Get tutoring three times a week
- Go to the teacher after school
- Raise grade by 10%
- No failing grades
- Keep students engaged in their coursework
- Teach students ways that will help them learn at their own pace
Program Features
Keep the program running smoothly and in line with administration goals. Bridge Builders is about getting results and setting students up for long-term success. We’re focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity, and inspiring a love for learning — all of which make a big impact in school and life.
Student Mentorship
The objective of the Bridge Builders to the New Generation Student Mentoring program is to give our students the responsibility to mentor their peers. Students will gain leadership and accountability for other students, giving them the knowledge that they wish they had when they were their mentees' age.
Measurable Goals
- Mentees will have mentors
- Provide each mentee with a mentor that has the same morals, vision, goals
- Help with students’ academic performance
- Help students become responsible for their actions
- Students will become leaders rather than followers
Program Features
The student mentoring component will consist of students mentoring their peers. This will give students a chance to educate the younger scholars on what to expect when they do come to the next grade level. The students will have an opportunity to have a mentor and be a mentee.
We want to start with individuals who are professionals because they are able to prepare students who are in college or choose not to attend college for life after their education career. The next group will be college students (4-year institutions) mentoring junior college students (2-year institutions) and high school seniors. These students will have the opportunity to educate students on how to navigate around their higher education students. If the student is first-generation, a person of color, an LGBQT community, undocumented, or any other marginalized group. The mentors will give them guidance on the proper actions they need to take in order to not feel included in their experience, help them find safe spaces, and find allies at the institutions. High school students will mentor middle school students; this is a critical transition for students. Many middle school students did not take their education seriously and struggled without anyone to help them socially and emotionally to deal with different changes in their lives. High school students will prepare these students by having them think about college/careers after high school. They will make sure that they are taking the right classes and understanding the curriculum. They will give these students a defined definition of A-G requirements and make sure that by their freshman year, they are enrolled in as many A-G courses as possible, depending on whether they are in SPED or have an IEP.
Middle School students will mentor elementary school students. We feel as if many of our middle school students go through school without any responsibility or accountability for themselves or anyone else. If we are able to give them someone else who looks up to them, and they are able to help with their academics and social life and teach their mentees how to be optimistic at an early age, then this will motivate our middle school students to do well in their academics, and also that they can be leaders on their school campus as well.
