If we’re going to improve the pass rate for online students in the state of Michigan, we’re going to need to work together to provide online students with more support.
Our state’s mentors are doing the best they can to support their online students. Despite filling this critical need, local mentors often lack training, a professional community, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
Here at Michigan Virtual, we’re ready to improve our state’s pass rate for all online learners (regardless of provider) by empowering Michigan mentors with free resources & professional development opportunities.

Being the only mentor (or even one of a handful of mentors) for online learners at your school can be an isolating experience. When you’re the only one (or one of a few) in your position, it can be difficult to define your responsibilities and figure out what exactly you’re supposed to be doing to help your online students succeed.
In our experience, we’ve found that mentors need more opportunities for community building and professional development as it relates to the unique but critical role they play in their schools. That’s why we’re offering Michigan mentors opportunities to connect with one another and share best practices.
