NGIA will offer mentors beginning in middle school and there is time built into the school day in the morning for mentors to work with our students. All mentors will have background checks as well as mentorship training that will be provided to them before the mentoring experience begins. All mentors will be supervised during their mentoring experience and open-ended feedback will be collected from the mentee as well as the mentor every month around progress, concerns and needs. There will also be an evaluation of the mentor program every semester and the Superintendent will share the same with the school board.
