Menta Academy Fox Tech Team Transition
The Menta Academy Fox Tech Team Transition program is designed to prepare students for the post secondary opportunity that best meets their adult goals. Students can work towards transition to college and technical schools, the trades such as automotive restoration, branches of the military, or gainful employment in the field of their choice. Menta Academy utilizes the language of the workplace to emphasize the connections between their current learning environment and the expectations typical of the workplace. There is a strong focus on job development and placement in entry level positions that will lead to gainful employment after high school. In addition to career coaching both on and off the job, students also receive transportation training when necessary. Students from Menta Academy Fox Team Transition have held jobs with local employers.
The goal of the transition program is to develop and facilitate skills necessary for young adults, ages 17 to 22, to handle the challenges of life transitions in a safe and nurturing environment. They are submersed in an environment rich in career exploration, skill development, health and wellness, behavior regulation, and independent living. Facilitators are committed to providing meaningful real world experiences, individualized for each young adult to maximize their level of independence.
More About The Menta Group
The Menta Group’s mission is “To provide innovative solutions to critical problems in education and human services.” Menta brings a framework of educational practices that have been designed and are supported through evidence based practices. Menta’s collaborative process with various school and community stakeholders has resulted in programs designed to educate, support, challenge, empower and celebrate students who present with a range of academic, social and emotional needs. At the beginning of a student’s experience with Menta, a collaborative meeting is held that includes the student, significant people in their lives, Menta staff and other professionals as appropriate. During that meeting, a comprehensive assessment of the student’s past, present and future desires is used to establish a student centered plan (MAP) that serves as a foundation of the student’s Menta programming. A guiding principle of Menta is ‘we do not give up’, while also holding our students and staff to high expectations. The educational offerings at a Menta program provides students with a quality education that is designed to nurture and enhance the skills and maturity needed to meet the challenges of being productive adults and citizens in a rapidly changing 21st century world.
Menta’s programs utilize a unique curricular framework that relies on the Expanded Menta Method and Trauma Informed Practices as the foundational principles for the teaching, counseling and mentoring work done by our highly trained staff. Personalized learning is the hub of our strategic curricular design intended to meet the needs of every student. Starting with the end in mind (learning targets and academic goals), a leveraging of current technologies coupled with highly trained instructional facilitators creates a rich learning environment supporting all student needs. Menta’s learning spaces are unique and specially designed to combine traditional teacher/student interaction with state of the art technology and learning innovations. Those learning spaces are flexible and can accommodate a variety of learning activities, such as inquiry learning and project based learning. Our spaces are designed to mimic productive spaces learners would find in business and/or corporate environments, thereby helping students achieve a mind-set designed for adult learning and work.
