January Marks "National Mentoring Month"
|
Every educator should invest in the future by mentoring a child. How many children need someone who can help them explore ways to succeed?
One of TeachAde's newest resources shares strategies on how to help students tackle today's issues whether it be at school or at home.
To be a mentor, one doesn't need special skills, just an ability to listen and to offer friendship, guidance and encouragement to a young person. And the experience an educator receives by being a mentor is truly rewarding. |

Do You Know an Autistic College Bound Student
|
Leaving high school and going to college is complicated for everyone. But if you're a student on the autism spectrum who is about to enter higher education for the first time, it might be a little bit more complicated for you. Navigating College is an introduction to the college experience written by autistic writers and contributors sharing advice they wished someone had given them when they headed off to college.
