Senior Project

Mentor Information

 

Thank you for considering being a participant in the Westlake City Schools Senior Project. The role of the Mentor is essential to the success of the Senior Project. You will play an active and integral part in the student’s learning experience. Through the experiences provided by you and your organization, the student should gain an in-depth understanding of your professional world.

 

Responsibilities:

  1. Discuss and agree upon goals and expectations for the Senior Project. The goals and expectations should be obtainable during the timeframe discussed.
  2. Advise and guide the student on his/her project and sign a weekly timesheet indicating the hours he/she has completed.
  3. Assign responsibilities and duties that are a real indication of work in your career environment.
