Younger, M., & Warrington, M. (2009). Mentoring and target-setting in a secondary school in England: an evaluation of aims and benefits. // Oxford Review of Education, 35 //(2), 169 – 185. The above study by Younger and Warrington is the cornerstone of this ARP. The study was of a mentoring program in England where, over the course of five years the school was able to raise the expectations of their students and in turn raise their students’ academic achievement and connectedness to their school. We are hoping to have as much success with our program as they had with their program.
