Throughout
Junior S.T.A.R. Academy, many components exist that continue
in the learning development and process of our students,
tutor/mentors, and parents. We believe that the learning
process is a constantly evolving process that progresses
through life.
Throughout the links, you will find components of Junior
S.T.A.R. Academy that are integral to these beliefs and
important to the continued success of S.T.A.R. Academy.

One on One Tutoring
In
this session, tutors assist tutees in completing their homework,
studying for tests, planning and executing projects and working
ahead in their textbooks. This time should be used to focus
on academic work, not searching the web for their favorite
music group or drawing on the chalkboard. If, as a tutor,
you need ideas for tutoring time, parents and other tutors
could possibly have ideas. This program will occur during
the Junior S.T.A.R. session and is spread throughout various
assigned rooms in the building.

Reading, Writing, & Communication Skills
The
objective of these sessions is to focus on written form
of communication using examples of literature that demonstrate
point of view, different versions on a fairy tale, and different
writing styles. Students will then write their own story
using components of stories read in sessions. Throughout
this process, the tutees are guided and coached individually.
The final product is presented at the Junior S.T.A.R. closing
ceremonies.
