Eighth Grade Curriculum

In 2007-2008, we are expanding our mentoring to include the eighth grade. Session content builds on what the students learned in their previous two years of mentoring. A three-unit financial literacy sequence is introduced after the mid-point of the year. The new curriculum was specially designed for the program by RPS Guidance Counselor Alease Johnson and RPS Vice Principal Janet Hall-Lane.

The entire Eighth Grade Mentoring Program content is posted here. Mentors may download or print out session instructions and handouts before each session.
