Academic Mentors for Elementary School Students
The primary role of the Black Student Achievement Program Elementary Academic Mentor is to provide academic support for students who need extra help in successfully working in the school environment. The Academic Mentor, in consultation with the teachers and administrators, identifies 12 to 15 students to be served on the mentor’s formal caseload.
Services
- Assists students with specific learning behaviors that impact academic achievement. (i.e. taking appropriate risks, persists when thinking through problems, completing class work assignments, etc.)
- Reinforces specific academic skills the student may be attempting to master
- Links students with school, community and tutoring resources
- Communicates regularly with principal and staff to monitor student progress
- Interacts with parents in support of students’ achievement
Target Population
As with any BSAP initiative, black students are the Academic Mentor’s
primary target population. However, the criteria for referring and selecting
students for the Academic Mentor’s formal caseload are based on need, not
race. BSAP Academic Mentors may provide services to any student who
meets the selection criteria regardless of race or ethnicity. These students
are referred to the Academic Mentors by the student’s teachers or by
their school administrators.
