Tutoring and Mentoring Survey

This survey is intended for members of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community interested in tutoring services for themselves, their children and/or those interested in becoming a mentor. Your answers to the following survey questions will help us improve the tutoring and mentoring services Salt River Schools provides the Community. The survey is confidential and your answers will remain anonymous.

For the purposes of this survey,

· tutoring refers to those services that provide additional, special, or basic instruction to promote independent learning, including homework help and improving academic skills;

· mentoring refers to services that promote personal development through improving self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, self-management, and social and cultural awareness.
