CTE Mentor Program 2014

School Based Goal

In order to support the school-based goal of decreasing our overall retention rate, a group of four
CTE teachers mentored students at risk for retention with the development and implementation of
a collaborative three part plan to introduce these students to the CTE programs offered at Salem
High School.

Teachers responsible:

Sarah Gerrol
Jeffery Shupe
Debbie Stratton
Michael Toney

Process:

We obtained list from the guidance department of students at risk for retention.
We made a website to house the forms, PowerPoint, surveys, etc. needed for CTE
Mentor Program
The CTE Department Website: ctesalem.weebly.com
o ctesalem.weebly.com

The website contained a link to the Salem

High School Registration Guide, Baseline
Data Survey, CTE PowerPoint
Presentation, Follow-up Survey, and a
Mentor Journal.
The website steps 1-6 surpassed the
original school-based goal.

We met with 15 students and gave 14 surveys (CTE Form 1 and CTE Form 2)
We described the CTE departments at SHS to the students.
We addressed any interests the students had about the CTE areas, offered and gave
tours of the programs.

Results from the 2nd Survey CTE Form 2

The knowledge level of

CTE courses clearly
increased after the CTE
Mentors facilitated the
program.

CTE Classes Currently Enrolled and CTE Class Interests

The students at risk

for retention
indicated a small
enrollment in CTE
programs on the
baseline data
survey.
The follow-up
survey indicated an
increased interest
in CTE, with all
discovering a class
they would
consider taking for
the 2014-2015
school year.

Summary:
As evidenced by survey results, we not only met but surpassed the goal to bring
about awareness of the CTE programs to get at risk students connected at Salem
High School.
