Mentor-Teachers
Mentor-teachers are school district educators and ASU students carefully selected to provide participating girls mentoring, instruction in research and information about social justice, and guidance on how to use technology in empowering ways. Mentor-teachers commit to a minimum of 24-hours of training, fingerprinting, and performance evaluations prior to interacting with participating girls. Each mentor-teacher works with a small group of girls for the duration of one course. With a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds CompuGirls has been lucky to have a diverse group of male and female mentor-teachers from various ethnic and racial groups.
