M-A-P(Mentor Advisory Program)

Kent Island High School

1. Kent Island High School has implemented a Mentor Advisory Program (M-A-P.) for all students.

2. Students attend regularly scheduled "advisory" periods led by teachers and peer leaders.

3. Small groups foster a sense of connection and caring among students and staff.

4. Through these groups, students receive personalized guidance and support in study skills, life skills, and career education.

What is M-A-P.?

          M-A-P. is a student facilitated advisory program aimed at helping high school students integrate fully into the high school experience. Eleventh and twelfth grade students serve as peer advisors to approximately 15-18 students. These student leaders use their leadership skills and understanding of group dynamics during M-A-P. meetings to foster in their groups a positive attitude toward high school. M-A-P. intends, through role modeling and education, to motivate students to make thoughtful choices regarding academic, personal, and career needs and to provide support services for high school students within a small group setting.

What are the objectives for M-A-P?

1. Work to develop personal relationships

2. Participate in small group discussions

3. Explore career/college options

4. Develop peer leadership opportunities

5. Build a caring environment for students and staff

What are the goals for M-A-P.?

1. Develop positive attitudes

2. Make healthy choices

3. Respect for self and others

4. Accept responsibility

5. Set goals

6. Improve study skills

7. Identify career interests

************************************************************************

1. When training student leaders we believe it’s important to pull kids from all groups. We are striving to have all groups represented.

2. Teachers are encouraged to play a larger role in the advisory model

3. Peer leaders and teachers must work together in order for the program to improve.

4. We will continuously train the student leaders all year in order to help M-A-P. run smoothly.
