Spotlight: Conversations From the Sioux Falls School District

Episode #4 - The Impact Mentorships Have On Student Success


Listen Later

Mentorships in our schools are crucial. Statistics show when a student is matched with an adult mentor, their attendance and school engagement go up, and their behavior issues go down. In this episode of the Spotlight podcast, Dr. Stavem sits down with long-time Lutheran Social Services Mentor Brian Bieber and new TeamMates mentor, Tina Blessen. They share their experiences, the impact mentoring has had on them, and how they've seen first-hand the importance of mentoring relationships.
