Mentorship Live Chat Implementation
What are Classroom Champions Mentorship Live Chats?
Classroom Champions Mentorship Live Chats connect students directly with athlete mentors through virtual chats, allowing them to ask questions, gain insights, and be inspired by real-world leaders. This unique experience is designed to enhance student engagement, foster connections across classrooms, and build meaningful conversations around resilience, leadership, and goal-setting.
How are Mentorship Live Chats organized?
As a Site Champion, you are responsible for booking Mentorship Live Chats for your school. You have two options for organizing these sessions:
- Single Room Session
- Location: All participating students gather in one room, such as a lunchroom, gym, or library.
- Participation: Each classroom gets the chance to ask questions.
- Benefits: This approach can help create a unified experience and promote school-wide enthusiasm for meeting their mentor
- Separate Classroom Session
- Location: Each classroom joins the live chat from their own room.
- Participation: Teachers coordinate within their classrooms to guide students in asking questions.
- Benefits: This setup allows each Classroom to customize the experience to their class’s needs while still participating in the school-wide event.
What is the goal of the School-Wide Chat model?
The School-Wide Chat model aims to increase connectedness between classrooms and across the school. By hearing each other’s questions and learning from shared interactions, students may find common ground, share curiosity, and build a broader sense of community. It’s also a chance for students to see how others interact and engage with their mentor.
How does the School-Wide Chat model support student leadership?
In School-Wide Chats, older students have an opportunity to model respectful engagement, thoughtful questioning, and active listening for younger students. This peer-led approach can foster mentorship within the student body and encourage younger students to participate confidently.
