Scarsdale High School

Role of a Mentor

Before Senior Options begins:
 

• Work with students to secure an internship and write/submit a proposal.
• Work with students who have to revise their proposals.
• Be clear about whether you are comfortable with an independent project versus an internship.
• Read and comment on the proposal (proposals will be available through your Scarsdale Google drive account).
• Contact internship sites prior to students leaving for Senior Options.

After Senior Options begins:
 

• Meet with student at least once a week for internships/projects.
• During your weekly meetings, check the student time log, student journals, videos and help students reflect on their experiences.
• Follow up with the sponsor after the student has been working for 2 weeks.
• Make at least one site visit. 
• Contact parents if students are not fulfilling their requirements.
• Contact your case manager or Jose Lamela if students are not fulfilling their requirements.
• When Senior Options nears closure, sign up for a presentation time.
• Monitor the progress of your student's final presentation.

After Senior Options ends:

• Complete a final evaluation form.
