Join us to engage in a discussion about the documentary Waiting for Superman, which highlights challenges in the American public education system. This film was released in October by the same team that brought the world An Inconvenient Truth, including Davis Guggenheim as creator and director, Participant Media as producer, and Paramount Pictures as distributor. In this film, Guggenheim explores some of the challenging issues surrounding the United States public education system and identifies a few of the innovators who are making changes that they believe can better prepare the next generation for opportunity and success.
What role does mentoring play in making this kind of change? How can mentors help prepare the next generation? How are mentoring programs responding to the call to action generated by the film? This Webinar will feature researchers and youth mentoring experts from the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota and MENTOR, including Marc Wheeler, a co-author of the Review of Three Recent Randomized Trials of School-Based Mentoring.
This webinar was also offered on November 3, 2010 as part of the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota’s free webinar series.

needs are in this area
Start small - Make it
simple & doable

program is, how it
meets the needs at
their school, and how

what you say you’re
going to do
Make it easy for them
to follow up on what
you need them to do

“Be patient. Things
often go slower than
you think they should.
That’s okay and often
ends up being better in
the long run.”
13. Key Points Advice from a Principal

individual
◦ What is most compelling to
them?
◦ What is the best way to
reach them?
Build mutual respect &
trust
◦ Follow up on your end

contagious
“Be clear on your
boundaries. If I ask
you to take on
something you’re not

yes and not do it.”

that looks well thought
out and organized, all I
need to do is say yes.”
16. Key Points Driving Question

there pieces that will
work or other ways to

need from them?
Make it easy
Remember the big
picture
Be patient and follow
up
“I appreciate when
someone has patience
and good humor. If I
don’t get back to
someone right away it’s
not because I don’t want
to but because my list is
too long. I don’t mind
some friendly reminders
if they come with good
humor.”

Editor's Notes
Talk with elbow partner 2 minutesLarge group share out
Mention, a few people have inquired about how to engage local law enforcement and I started to evaluate of those I know in our line of work, who has a good relationship with their local law enforcement agency and a name name to me, Dr. Karen Li.Mention her roleMention traffic counts she did with ArtTurn it over to Art
In addition to engaging local law enforcement agencies, another question that has come up is, how do I put Safe Routes higher on the agenda of principals and for some, the question is, how do I even get Safe Routes on the agenda at all?Again, this question got me thinking about who do I know who has principal's at the decision making table and a name came to mind, Mindy. Note her task force meetings and how principals will leave school sites and come to her meetings.
The 14-15 calendar is all ready, so I’d like to provide everyone a copy now. On it are the 14-15 meetings, budget report dates, events, and workshops.Note:Workshops have a different focusCrossing Guard Training Option
Recently I was at the Peninsula Family YMCA Hero’s Breakfast and was awarded a Hero’s award by the Senator Hill and Assemblyman Mullin for the Safe Routes to School Program and I was up there, I couldn’t help but wish that everyone of you and all of our partners was there because getting kids out of cars is hard work. The gains we are making, the 270% increase in the number of kids who live a half mile from school or less has to do with each and everyone of you. The phone calls, the weekend events, the event coordination, the trainings, the recruiting of volunteers, and the list goes on are initiating an amazing shift. Thank you.So, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your efforts. Alonso designed certificates for each participating district and I wrote out a little thank you.
