Mentors
Overview of Moore School Mentoring
The vision for Moore Elementary School’s Mentor Program is to provide a continuum of mentoring services in a safe, effective manner. Our mentors will be committed individuals, working one on one with students for at least one year on a consistent basis, whose goal is to maximize a student’s potential. Moore Elementary is making an effort with Colorado State University students from areas such as psychology, social work, human development and education as well as others to mentor Moore students. Generally, a mentor is assigned to one student and meets with that student once a week for about one hour for an entire school year (or as long as needed) on Moore's campus. The goal of the mentor is to develop a friendship and within that relationship, assist the student in developing and achieving goals. Benefits for the student include higher grades, fewer absences, improved self-esteem, career exploration and the encouragement and support of a positive role model. For the mentor, there is challenge and satisfaction derived from helping students overcome their challenges.
