E-Mentoring

The E-Mentoring Program is a contemporary and innovative program that matches students with disabilities with mentors who have college and/or career experience.  Students and mentors communicate through e-mail in this program.  The students complete an online course which helps prepare them for their transition to work and/or college.

• Mentoring Models - The E-Mentoring Program uses two models: Group listservs and one-to-one mentoring.
• E-mail Systems - Secure and monitored e-mail technologies used for student and mentor communication.
• Netiquette - Rules for student and mentor e-mail communication.
• E-Mentoring Online Course - An online transition course for high school students who are supported by mentors.

Students - Get matched with a mentor to help you transition from high school to college and/or work.		Mentors - Enhance your own life experience and spread your knowledge by volunteering to become a mentor.
"I like having a mentor who understands me."		"Being a mentor allows me to meet a unique population of kids who are transitioning to life after high school."

Instructors - Implement the E-Mentoring Program at your school and help your students think critically about their futures.		Families - Support the development of your child's educational and career goals with the help of the E-Mentoring Program.
"My students have improved their grades and attitudes in the classroom."		"Having the opportunity to e-mail a mentor and ask for guidance is so helpful as our son transitions."
