MENTORING— TEACHING, AND LEARNING TOGETHER

[The mentor] does not give in order to receive; giving is in itself exquisite joy.... In the act of giving something is born, and both persons involved are grateful for the life that is born for both of them. (Fromm, 1970, 24-25)

Mentoring Preparing to mentor (and be mentored) Negotiating the relationship Enabling the new teacher Coming to closure

THINK about what you are bringing to the mentoring relationship. LEARN what others have learned about how to build successful mentoring work together. PREPARING TO MENTOR

A Successful Mentor Is... Cheerleader Colleague Model

Four Mentoring Functions Relating – build & maintain relationships Assessing—identify strengths and targets for growth Coaching—help fine-tune repertoire of skills Guiding—nudge toward independence

Tips for Mentors Set ground rules. Help changes happen. Avoid info overload. Share decision-making. Know when to intervene. Maintain the relationship.

More tips Don’t forget content. Know when to wean. Find time to mentor. Reflect on your mentoring. Remember, student learning is the goal!

NEGOTIATE RELATIONSHIPS Get acquainted. Set ground rules. Keep communication lines open.

Consider these ground rules... Honor one another’s words & actions. Speak only for yourself and your experiences. Stay in today’s story. What is said between us stays between us. If one of us feels the need for someone else to intervene, we will say so.

Giving & Receiving Feedback Provide constructive feedback. Learn how to receive constructive feedback.

COMING TO CLOSURE Celebrate success! Talk about redefining the relationship. Find a comfortable way to move on. Process what you both learned.

Mentoring Handout Beginning the Journey Beginning the Journey Take a few minutes and talk with your mentor. Write the answers to these questions on the sheet. If your mentor is not here, just reflect on these questions in light of your role in the mentoring process.
