• Tapping into your building's biggest resource, your students, Ignite works with your staff and students to implement a Student-to-student Mentoring program for the incoming class. Our approach is to customize and support your building's direction and goals. The appointed student mentors are given over 15 hours of training on personal effectiveness, communication and listening skills and the art of facilitation before ever meeting their incoming class team...the mentees. The monthly themes follow the flow of growth an incoming student experiences during their year of transition.



• Mentors form learning communities with the mentees assuring the focus and topics are in support of those widely identified as most critical to students as they enter a new learning environment. Your Ignite Coach works all year with student mentors and staff to guide the building towards sustainable results. The program focuses on both academic and social connections supporting the big picture for the incoming students.



• Although it takes up to three years for true culture change to become wide-spread, your faculty and students will experience rewards within a semester. Depending on selected target goals of the initiative, documented changes should be identified within the first year.
