The items requested (adult coloring sheets, encouraging cards, fidget spinners, notebooks, and stickers) play an important role in shaping the learning experience of at-risk students. Adult coloring sheets provide therapeutic relief and stress and anxiety management, thereby fostering a conducive learning atmosphere. Encouraging cards provide personalized messages of motivation, bolstering students' confidence and resilience, essential for overcoming academic hurdles. Fidget spinners are tactile tools, aiding in focus and attention during mentoring sessions, class, and times of stress or anxiety, thus enhancing learning engagement. Notebooks offer a structured space for organizing thoughts and tracking progress, promoting better study habits and academic success. Stickers used for rewarding mentoring attendance are tangible symbols of achievement, reinforcing students' commitment to their educational goals and encouraging continued participation.
These items contribute to the social and emotional support provided by the Check and Connect mentoring model, fostering a nurturing relationship in which students feel valued, understood, and empowered to excel academically despite facing challenges.
The primary aim is to improve the graduation rate among at-risk students, ensuring a higher number successfully complete their high school education. Equipping mentors with a toolkit enables the strengthening of the support system available to at-risk students, promoting their overall well-being and academic success. Through personalized encouragement, relaxation tools, and positive reinforcement, the project strives to empower students to surmount obstacles, cultivate resilience, and take ownership of their educational journey.
At-risk students show resilience despite facing challenges that could hinder their academic progress. Their willingness to engage with the Check and Connect mentoring program highlights their commitment to success and openness to support. By recognizing and celebrating their individual strengths, the program equips them with essential resources and guidance to navigate their educational journey successfully.
