Outline
of Learning Goals: Preamble:
Introduction to The organization recognizes that its strategy is "out of the box" for most people and that with limited resources its not been able to present as clear a definition of goals and actions as is needed. However, it keeps pursuing this "clarity of mission" goal. This page represents the "next step". This table of contents is the outline of a "web book" and "tutor/mentor university" that have yet to be developed. Each section of this outline represents a body of knowledge that needs to be understood by public leaders as well as tutor/mentor program leaders. Our first step of fleshing this out is to provide Power Point presentations of some sections. Over the coming year we will develop similar presentations for each section. Some will develop because researchers, writers and IT people learn from the first presentations the power of our vision and volunteer to help us build the rest of the book. Click back to the Tutor/Mentor Institute page for the power points that are already available. We thank you for visiting and look forward to your feedback and participation. Definition

Total
Quality Mentoring -
this is a concept of constant improvement, borrowed from the business term,
Total Quality Management (TQM
). It's used to describe a comprehensive volunteer-based tutor/mentor
program in which the long term goal is that youth are starting jobs/careers
by their mid-twenties, and that volunteers are the leaders and networkers
who help make this possible.
Success Steps Strategy - actions that support a youth's long-term growth in a Total Quality Mentoring program. The Cabrini Connection plan.
