Posted by on March 5, 2007

LEARNS is pleased to offer a free online training session on Building Youth Literacy in Mentoring Programs to be held on Tuesday, March 6 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific time.

There are many ways mentors can interact with youth to encourage and develop the literacy skills crucial for personal and professional success. Join Randi Douglas and Erich Stiefvater of LEARNS for this hour-long, interactive discussion of ways for mentors to model and coach key literacy skills for youths in grades 5 through 12.

Designed for mentoring program directors, site coordinators, and mentors themselves, the webinar will cover:
1) Selected research on adolescent literacy
2) A four-part mentoring model for developing youth literacy
3) Activities that build and reinforce youth literacy
4) Resources for further learning and mentor training

To participate, you will need both a reliable Internet connection and a phone line to connect to a toll-free teleconference number. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
