Natomas Institute of Technology
Technology, Entrepreneur, Attitude, Math, and Science (TEAMS) Program
NIT TEAMS Objective:
The primary objective of NIT's TEAMS Program is to mentor and coach K-12, college, and university students on how to adapt to internal and external changes to help them survive and grow. Natomas Institute of Technology (NIT) believes that geniuses and leaders are not born, but are instead developed, and encouraged to grow in a positive, yet challenging, environment.
Developing the future innovators and leaders of America requires repeated exposure to math, science, technology, and business management principles and problems, coupled with constant feedback, to make sure that the solutions to the problems that future innovators and leaders solve are acceptable solutions, and thus competitive solutions, allowing them to better adapt to challenging changes to help them survive and grow.
Because every person learns differently and has different strengths and opportunities to improve, NIT TEAMS Program develops a customized mentoring and coaching program for each participant in the program, to help them frame, research, analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate, innovate, and integrate their technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science strengths, and opportunities to improve, so that they will be better prepared to adapt to change, and lead change initiatives, in a manner that better allows them to survive and grow as individuals, team members, members of organizations, and members of interorganizations.
NIT TEAMS Program 12 Week Overview
Each week, participants meet on a one-on-one basis with their mentor at NIT, or the closest Sacramento Public Library to the participant, for one hour, at a time that is both convenient for the participant and the mentor.
Every second week, for a half an hour, or half a mentoring session, the participants will engage in team exercises, activities, tasks, projects, and/or problem solving, with at least one other TEAMS participant, or with the mentor, when scheduling doesn't allow for the TEAMS participant to meet with another participant.
In week 1, participants in the NIT TEAMS program are introduced to the program, and are evaluated with respect to their current or baseline technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science strengths, and opportunities to improve, as individuals, team members, members of organizations, and members of inter organizations.
For example, John Smith/Jane Doe is strong in math, science, and technology, but presents an opportunity to improve how he/she relates to himself/herself and others, and presents an opportunity with respect to how to develop an idea into a product or service, and how to develop an organization around that product or service.
In week 2, NIT TEAMS mentors sit down with the participants in the program and develop a customized mentoring and coaching program for each participant in the program, to help them frame, research, analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate, innovate, and integrate their technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science strengths, and opportunities to improve, so that they will be better prepared to adapt to change, and lead change initiatives, in a manner that better allows them to survive and grow as individuals, team members, members of organizations, and members of inter organizations.
For example, John Smith/Jane Doe is strong in math, science, and technology, and so he/she needs to be encouraged to work on projects that build on his/her math, science, and technical skills and knowledge, to further increase this skill set and knowledge, and he/she needs to work on individual and team projects that allow him/her to better relate to himself/herself and others, and on projects that allow him/her to develop an idea that he/she has, into a product or service, and how to develop an organization around that product or service, in a conceptual or theoretical manner only.
In weeks 3-10, NIT TEAMS mentors involve the participants in the program in customized individual and group technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science learning projects to help each participant implement their customized program to reach their improvement goals and/or stretch goals, while continuously providing support to them in the form of instruction, tasking, and positive "sandwich technique" feedback, where students are praised for what they do well, then are informed of how they can improve, by providing them resources, additional projects, and/or tasks to improve, and then they are praised for something else they do well.
In week 11, NIT TEAMS mentors reevaluate participants in the program and compare their results with the baseline results of the week 2 assessment, in conjunction with the goals and stretch goals of their customized programs.
In week 12, NIT TEAMS mentors provide participants comprehensive feedback on how they have improved their technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science skills, knowledge, and capabilities, and are provided with additional recommendations on how to continue to improve, to better adapt to change, and initiate change, that allows them to better survive and grow, as individuals, and members of groups, organizations, and/or inter organizations.
Though this mentoring program is only 12 weeks long, participants may reenroll in the program, to continuous improve their technical, entrepreneurial, psychological, math, and science skills, knowledge, and capabilities, effectively allowing anyone who wants to continuously improve themselves in technology, entrepreneurship, psychology, math, and science, to continuously do so.
