Please join the locally certified Check & Connect (C&C) Trainers a two-day (in-person or three-day online) in-depth training designed to provide Check & Connect mentors with the information, competencies, and skills needed to be an effective Check & Connect mentor.

This training is for new mentors, existing mentors who would like a refresher, and administrators who would like to better understand the program. Also, you are welcome to forward this invitation to non-YIC mentors or district personnel who might be interested in participating in the training as well.

Not sure what C&C Mentoring is? Check out the Check & Connect website (click blue text to access link) for more information, and contact me for the USBE C&C Key points doc. or to schedule time to discuss the program. (A little teaser.) Using the C&C mentoring program Mentors provide evidence-based interventions using students’ academic, behavior and course performance data. A trusting relationship between the student and a caring mentor is the core of C&C. The goal of C&C mentoring is to support school completion, prevent student dropout, improve educational outcomes, and help students prepare for post-secondary success.

YIC Directors, please remember all YIC Mentors must participate in at least one initial C&C Mentor Training session, and are welcome to participate in a repeat session if interested.

Note: C&C Mentor trainings have been expanded this school year. We will not only be offering the initial C&C Mentor training both in the 2-day in-person format and the 3-day online format. We will also be offering Utah specific Refresher trainings for veteran mentors, and an Administrators training.

C&C Training participants will learn and understand: • The core components and elements of Check & Connect • The role and expectations of a Check & Connect mentor • The competencies and skills needed to be an effective mentor • How to implement the "Check" and "Connect" procedures with fidelity • The population of students they are mentoring and how to best meet their needs • How to build relationships with students, families, and school personnel Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
