Power2: Teens and Toddlers
Power2: Teens and Toddlers
0 Reviews
Power2 is an award-winning early intervention programme for young people. Power2 core programme, Teens and Toddlers, has achieved great success across all areas in Greater Manchester and we are keen to extend our reach in Bury.
Delivered in partnership with schools and nurseries, it enables young people to work through an established curriculum while gaining practical experience of supporting and mentoring a nursery-aged child. All participants will receive up to 18 weeks of support when they begin the programme.
The programme seeks to coach and mentor young people in reflective skills and enhances their confidence and supports them to develop emotional maturity, to aspire and achieve.
Success is evidenced by:
- Improvement in attendance, attitudes and behaviour
- Improvement in attainment through a recognised qualification
Part of the Assessment for suitability for the programme includes setting a baseline from which improvements can be measured. Evidence of success includes providing written confirmation that the results have been achieved.
In the first instance young people complete an 18-week mentoring programme which includes up to two hours per week spent mentoring a nursery-aged child and a further 1.5 hours completing a curriculum leading to a Level 1 Award in Interpersonal Skills.
Schools are expected to continue to support pupils to complete the whole programme as this helps maximise the benefit to pupils who might otherwise disengage from learning and supports schools in addressing some of the additional needs of this particular cohort of students.
