Learn from work of interns

Over the past three months I've had my Tutor/Mentor website upgraded which led to reformatting of the site's look and feel.  One group of articles that were affected were those showing strategy visualizations and videos produced by interns between 2005 and 2015.   

I had to rebuild these pages, which I finished this week.  

Now you can find one page of visualizations at this link.

And you can find videos and more visualizations on this page.

If you browse through articles posted on this blog since Michael Tam, an intern from Hong Kong, started it in 2006, you'll see many of these presentations.

You'll also see presentations like this, where I've encouraged high schools, colleges and universities to create a Tutor/Mentor Connection study and action program on their own campus.

The interns who worked with me spent time reading my blog articles and looking through my website, then created their own interpretations, using various forms of visualization.  They were building new skills while learning new ideas. They were actively helping share ideas that could help more youth living in areas of persistent poverty get on-going tutor, mentor and learning support that would help them through high school, college and into adult lives and careers.  

Their articles focus on Chicago. The last were done in 2015, 10 years ago. That means there is a lot of new content that could be reviewed.  Any university in Chicago or any other place could have students doing this same work, and could soon have a page on their website showing student work, just as I do.

I wrote an article titled "Tipping Points: Growing and Supporting New Leaders" a few years ago. In it I showed how universities could be building a new wave of leaders who work directly in youth serving organizations while training others to become more proactive in supporting nonprofit and social benefit organizations from their roles in business, professions, policy makers, etc. 

It's the type of article student learners could review and reproduce in ways that might influence more people to actually adopt the ideas!  

That's the goal.

I can be found on LinkedIn, BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and Twitter (see links here).  I hope you'll connect with me.
