WHAT IS MENTORING?THE GOAL OF MS442’S MENTORING PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE THAT EACH STUDENT HAS A MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ADULT IN THE BUILDING, IS SELF-AWARE ENOUGH TO HAVE A SENSE OF HIS/HER OWN STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES, AND IS ABLE TO SET AND MEET BOTH ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL GOALS.
Building your strength as a person During mentoring you will meet with your mentor at a
designated time to talk about organization, academics, self-esteem, or anything the two of you set as your goal based on our character competencies.
You will meet once per week and this person is your family’s main point of contact.
Our PBIS expectations, safety, responsibility, respect, and tolerance will also be included in this learning
Have an open mind, be honest, and be ready to participate and you will create strong bonds with other students and understand yourself better.
Common Core Standards – We use these standards as we wrote curriculum, expectations, and assessments for this year. You will work independently, in flexible groups, and in partnerships to complete complex tasks. We believe in you and your abilities. We know you will rise to this challenge and leave the Carroll Gardens School for Innovation ready for college and careers!
HIGH SCHOOL!In 6th grade you may start to think about what type of high school you would like to go to and begin working towards that goal with your mentor. In 7th grade you may start to tour potential schools. In 8th grade you will be working with your counselor and mentor to get your HS applications in by early December This is an exciting time but MUST be taken seriously. Last year 90 % of our graduates were accepted to one of their top three choices for high school!More information to come!
If you are interested in advanced math or science, there will be opportunities in 8th grade for high school level work… stay on top of your academics!

What is independent? *Not HW *Not an assessment immediately after direct teaching *Not dependent upon another student or adult
Student work will be assessed into four categories:
.
Final Grade for report card will be numerical. The grade is based on percentage of learning outcomes Met and Exceeded. Students receive more percentage weight for Exceeding. Types of trials/assessments: Independent Work, Group Work, Tests/Quizzes, Tasks, Exit Slips, Do Now’s, Journals, Conference (notes), Speaking
A student’s grade will be calculated based on the percentage of outcomes/standards met or exceeded.

into core subjects and offered extra-curricularly.

Everyone needs someone to listen.
