Customize your eMentoring experience: Choose the Conversations and Extension Activities that best suit your class. Learn more about our curriculum here
eMentoring for course credit: assign Extension Activities. Extension Activities were designed as a way for teachers to assess their students' comprehension of the curriculum. Examples of Extension Activities include written reflections, research assignments, and creating a resume. We also designed our curriculum with CLE, CLC and Capstone courses in mind; click here for more information.
Provide class or homework time to eMentoring: we recommend at least twice a week.
