Mentors: Has your mentee ever come to you with a question about school that you had trouble answering? Do you want to help your mentee learn some of the same strategies that you find useful? Do you want to brush up on strategies to help YOU do better in school? |
Mentees: Would you like to learn some fun strategies to help you get through your tricky homework? Do you want to brush up on some of the strategies that you've already learned? Would you like to have a cool activity to complete with your mentee? |
Well you've come to the right place! ResearchILD and FableVision have created a computer program called BrainCogs to help kids tackle their tricky homework assignments using strategies.
You're probably asking, "What does this have to do with me?" The information in BrainCogs is so useful and fun that we decided to transform it into a special collection of SMARTStrategies! That's right! A whole bunch of fun strategy activities were put together JUST for the SMARTS Mentors and Mentees.
Each strategy activity is designed to be completed by a mentor and a mentee working together. They're a lot of fun and both mentors and mentees can learn from each strategy! At the bottom of the first page of each SMARTStrategy is a box with helpful communication tips to remind you of the best ways to talk to and work with each other.
The strategies are grouped together in 5 clusters. Click on a cluster below to check them out.
