JAG Specialist • More than a “teacher”, the JAG Specialist serves 35 ‐ 45 students, on average. • Takes personal responsibility to prevent students from dropping out of high school and to support their successful transition to the workplace, post secondary ed, or the military. • Come from diverse backgrounds – not always education. • Develops personal relationship and bond of trust, and for many JAG students is the first adult to take active interest and be a caring adult for them • JAG students refer to their Specialists as their mentor, best friend, champion, father, mother, aunt, uncle, sister and brother. • If there is a secret sauce to this work, it’s the caring adult that doesn’t give up on our youth! 16
