Peer Mentoring in the Lounges

Students, mentors and Project Liaisons alike each have their own private on-line space to communicate with and support each other. These spaces are three separate electronic mailing lists referred to as Lounges, one for students -- the Student Lounge, one for mentors -- the Mentor Lounge and one for Project Liaisons -- the Teacher Lounge. These proved to be critical components of the project.

Each participant in a Lounge is considered a Peer Mentor, capable of using her strengths and talents in raising issues and bringing folks together to help sustain the Lounge as a place to share ideas continuously as they confront new situations and develop effective strategies for success.
