Key Features of the Mentorship Program:
- One-on-One Mentorship: Each participant will be paired with a dedicated mentor—an experienced educator or industry professional with expertise in their area of focus (visual arts, music, dance, drama, etc.). This personalized mentorship ensures that educators receive guidance specific to their needs, challenges, and aspirations, helping them refine their instructional methods and improve student outcomes.
