Context
Pleasant View Elementary teachers serve as mentors to students, helping them develop learning strategies, emotional intelligence, and self-directed learning behaviors. Students have one-on-one weekly meetings with their mentor teachers to articulate long and short term goals, and measure progress in meeting those goals. Students set goals at the beginning of the week and mentors review student data to see if their goals align well with their current path/progress. Mentors celebrate students successes, help guide them towards future growth, and ask questions of learners to help them reflect on their work.
