Registration for the brand-new mentoring course created by Al Pi Darko, a project of Pele Yoetz, is now underway, with enrollment already surpassing early predictions.
In the past years, Al Pi Darko has reaped countless successes in its early diagnostic and intervention program. Implemented in over a dozen chadarim in Yerushalayim, Al Pi Darko aims to identify and diagnose learning difficulties or disabilities among cheider students and pair them with professionally-trained tutors who provide the supplementary assistance that they need, nipping learning issues in the bud before they spiral into large-scale difficulties and distress. Hundreds of boys from the most prestigious chadarim in Yerushalayim have participated in the program and achieved beyond expectation.
With the program in high demand in chadarim and surpassing the supply of tutors and mentors, Al Pi Darko is currently launching a professional mentorship training course that will grant participants knowledge, skills and resources to effectively support young students in the charedi cheider system and help them maximize their academic and social potential.
“Our objective is to provide the right support to children and adolescents who are in need of professional assistance and guide them to academic, social and personal success,” project director Rabbi Avraham Vitman explains the project goals.
The widespread interest and positive feedback received since Pele Yoetz Center announced the opening of the course and registration attests to the need for such a course in the chinuch world. The mentoring course and all its contents are under the auspices and full supervision of Hagaon Harav Dovid Levy shlit”a, Nasi of Pele Yoetz, who personally oversees all stages of the course and established the objectives of each of the 9 planned sessions, as follows:
1) Guidelines for proper mentorship 2) Counseling within mentoring 3) Teaching Gemara 4) Supporting students with attention disorders 5) Image of a mentor 6) Serving as a mentor within the Talmud Torah framework 7) Mentor’s toolbox 8) Emotional aspects of mentoring 9) Panel of specialists from range of realms in education.
