Cultivating Connection: How to Design and Implement School-Based Mentoring. Promising Practices from Washington State
Georgia Heyward
Grantee Submission
The purpose of this study was to understand a school-based mentoring model that uses school staff as adult mentors. This study presents existing literature on school-based mentoring models along with a case study of one teen parent high school. The report also includes step-by-step guidance for implementation. At the case study school, all school adults acted as mentors engaged in developmental and goal-based mentoring. At the conclusion of the first year of implementation, student perception of the student-teacher relationship improved from 66% in 2022-23 (prior to Mentor Center) to 81% in 2023-24 (during the pilot year of Mentor Center). Teacher burn-out also decreased by 100%.
