Exhibition and Mentor Overview

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you your interest at yesterday's meeting about the Exhibition. Here is the Exhibition and Mentor Overview presentation. There is an Exhibition energy that is engaging the students, which is evident in their discussions about key issues and parts of the themes. We hope they will be able to choose their key issues in time for the Exhibition Parent Coffee next Thursday. The Exhibition will follow the same basic structure as last year both in terms of the process and the presentation on Exhibition Day, April 28. 


This year we have 44 students that will need a mentor. We will be drawing on a pool of volunteers from both ES and the Middle School. Here are some documents that will support the mentoring:
The Mentor packet explains the roles and responsibilities of both students and mentors. It has a copy of the Student Timeline following the phases of the Exhibition. Here is a sample of their guidance from week two of the Research Phase. Mentors should view these points to see where they are at in the process and to guide discussion.


This document will be updated as students decide on their key issues.

CA and Local Key Issues list
If you have any ideas of key issues at CA or on Rokko Island, please add them to this doc.
