About This Resource

Check & Connect is a structured mentoring program centered around increasing student school engagement through relationship building, monitoring of disengagement warning signs and students' educational progress, interventions individualized to student needs, development of problem-solving skills, the encouragement of participation in extracurricular activities, and family engagement. A key factor in the Check & Connect model is the monitor or mentor, who is responsible for assessing levels of student engagement and for implementing basic and intensive interventions.
