E-Mentor Curriculum for the Health Professional
The Contra Costa e-Mentoring program is unique in that each contact between the Health Care professional and the high school Health Academy student has a specific purpose defined by the classroom curriculum over the 6-week period (March-May). An end-of pilot program evaluation will also be included after the program concludes. Mentors have an option to participate in end-of-year school awards & celebration events, usually held in May, to meet students face-to-face and to review student work as well.
