Student 2 Student

The Student 2 Student Initiative (S2S) meets very real transitioning student needs with:

Immediate peer credibility
Positive peer relationships
Valued information

A team from a school campus is trained to return to their home campus to provide leadership in training other students on methods to support students who are transitioning to or from their school. The team is composed of advisors, students, and School Liaison Officers. The focus is student centered, and is student led with close supervision. The development of student trainers who can return to their home campus for training other peers is critical to the success and credibility of the program.

Three researched based modules are used for the training:

Academics: (Requirements, Processes, Access)
e.g. Test Assessments, Progress Reporting, Programs and opportunities, Enrichment support
Relationships: (Acceptance, Attributes, Friendships)
e.g. Faculty/staff, Groups, Organizations, Peers, Local, On/off campus
Finding the way: (Attention, Orientation, Appreciation)
e.g. How we do business, the community, the campus, the culture, rules/policies, school documents, structures

The curriculum modules incorporate planning, technology, resources, goal setting, support systems, and elements of transitioning in and out of the campus in each of the modules. It is a research-based model. Through the training, the team develops well prepared local lesson plans and clear team assignments for implementation at their home campus. Much time is needed for planning, organization, and communication strategies. Each team customizes the training specifically for its home site.
