TALC Mentor Program
The University of Texas at San Antonio and San Antonio College have received a Title V grant, The Academy For Teacher Excellence. This grant will allow the two institutions to work together in a collaborative effort to increase the success rates of students majoring in education, specifically Hispanic and Minority students. One effort to ensure the goals of this grant is the establishment of a Peer Mentoring Program. We are excited to introduce The Academy For Teacher Excellence Peer Mentor Program.
The Peer Mentor Program allows San Antonio College students to be mentored by an upper-level Education major at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The goal of the Peer Mentor Program is to give SAC students the opportunity to interact with UTSA students who can provide guidance and information on the Education program, ways to succeed in college, and familiarize them with UTSA. (Please refer to the Mentor Manual for more information.)
A mentor is someone who can provide guidance and knowledge related to the goals of the mentee.
A mentee is someone who takes charge of their own walk by actively seeking information and feedback in order to be successful.
The mentors consist of sophomore, junior and senior Education Majors at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The mentees will be San Antonio College (SAC) Education Majors, preferably students who plan on transferring to UTSA. The mentees also may be students who are participating in the Academy For Teacher Excellence Learning Communities.
As a mentee, you will be assigned a mentor who will provide guidance towards reaching your educational and/or personal goals. The relationship should be based on mutual respect and good communication. Sample topics that may be discussed with your mentor may include classroom progress, setting educational and career goals, time management, involvement in campus activities, and steps to take to transfer to a university.
Mentoring consists of focused and selected activities that seek to enhance and enrich students' opportunities to succeed to their educational endeavors. Mentoring activities link students with a mentor who will listen, understand, negotiate, and encourage students to utilize all the resources available to achieve academic and personal success.
The goal of the Academy For Teacher Excellence Mentor Program is to provide SAC students with opportunities to interact with UTSA students who can provide guidance and information on the Education program, ways to succeed in college, and familiarize them with UTSA.
