The
Mentoring Approach to Learningsm: A Fusion Learning Center Exclusive Over
17 years ago, Fusion Learning Center’s founder, Michelle Rose Gilman, recognized
that existing programs to assist children outside of regular school just weren’t
getting the job done. Too many kids were being left behind or falling through
the cracks. She was determined to make a change in the system. In
1989, Michelle created the Mentoring Approach to Learningsm, a program
designed to really reach students. She knew that unless a real relationship was
formed between the tutor and the student, deep learning could not take place.
The Mentoring Approachsm was created–and it worked! The premise
behind the Mentoring Approachsm is the idea that all children need
adults outside their families they can count on. Many times, when kids find it
hard to talk with their parents, they’ll share their feelings with another
significant adult in their lives. Mentors
are not replacements for parents–nor are they meant to be. Instead, mentors
give your child a supportive, impartial outlet to discuss whatever’s on his
or her mind–whether it’s school, peer pressure, or any of the number
of other things children face every day in our world. So much more than ordinary
tutors, our Educational Therapists and Educational Mentors are fully trained to
create a healthy, meaningful, one-on-one relationship with your child. We help
our kids grow as people and develop new skills and attitudes, not only about school,
but also about life. Fusion Learning Center’s Educational Therapists and
Mentors fulfill the following roles: - Coach:
Our mentors work with your child on an individual basis to show them how to best
perform a task or activity.
- Facilitator:
Our mentors seek out opportunities to expose your child to new, beneficial skills.
- Counselor:
Our mentors assist your child in exploring the pros and cons of potential decisions.
- Networker:
Our mentors refer your child to other professionals when the child’s needs
exceed the mentor’s scope of expertise.
- Coordinator:
Our mentors pull together the community resources your child needs.
Give
your child a chance to be heard, a feeling of respect, and a sense of hope: Effective
mentoring creates a ripple effect of benefits that touches both your child and
the mentor for life. |  |
