A Study On Selecting A Mentor

Reflecting back over the years since receiving my initial National Board Certification, I clearly see that the mentoring roles I have been a part of have been the most rewarding. Mentoring has enabled me to collaborate with others new to the profession as well as with veteran teachers in the classroom. Through this collaboration in a variety of settings, I have been able to improve the effectiveness of my teaching practices which in turn has had a positive impact on my students. A study from Teacher Collaboration in Instructional Teams and Student Achievement by the American Educational Research Journal (2015) states that the quality of teacher collaboration positively influences teacher performance

Criminologist James Fox of Northeastern University predicts that murders committed by teens will skyrocket as the population of kids 10 and under is higher than population of 21st century teens by 20%. (Stephens) Mentoring is the act of helping out someone that isn't as knowledgeable or experienced in different areas. The goal is to make them leaders. (Patterson)

Now that you have completed your project, you need to look back at your proposal and compare it with your finished product. You need to answer the following questions as completely and honestly as possible.

One thing I believe is a necessity in growing up is having a mentor. Having a mentor is, not only, beneficial for the mentee but also the mentor. Being a mentor is a learning experience for everyone participating, it helps people grow as a person and friendships are created when a bond if formed. Some people might think it's a waste of time for a child or that it'll never work out for a troubled delinquent but based on the research I've done, I have proven them wrong. Through-out this paper I will provide the pros and cons of mentoring and how they affect both mentor and mentee. To back up my proposal that mentoring is supporting, I will supply examples to answer the question: Is mentoring really important?

Helpful Mentor My mentor Deb, understood that I struggled being confident when I interacted with patients. Knowing that about me, Deb found ways to help me improve my confidence, especially the times I had to be the nurse. Taking on the role of a nurse during admissions was nerve-racking, but as I continued admitting patients during clinicals, I began to feel more relaxed and confident. Deb always made sure that I was learning something new and would have me set up goals for myself each clinical day.

Therefore we did a brief recap of what happening in the last meeting to make sure we are on the same page. After the review, I practiced the sessional contracting skill to

After reviewing the criteria of the project, I became excited about finally getting to “meet” and speak

But to put this into prospective, after taken many upper-level courses for my BS program here at Walden, which required my involvement with group projects–I had my share of interpersonal relationships changes and some were never amended.

Up until February, Dawn Hutchison had been my manager. In March, James Foster became my new manager. Throughout the months, I have involved both of them with my project. Today, I presented my PowerPoint presentation and Dawn did not show up. However, James was in attendance and filled out the Executive Mentor Evaluation Form. Will this be a problem?

My contribution to the course material was as follows; First, I conducted a meeting with my team to divide the tasks and set the criteria of the work that needed to be done. Second, after receiving the individual’s deliverables I performed QA and provided both positive feedback and constructive criticism. Third, after providing feedback some team members were reluctant to accept them, so I stepped in and rewrote tables that were not clearly visible, wrote notes on the slides that contain tables and figures that didn’t have any, adjusting the overall format, and selecting a background of the presentation.

The week started with a meeting with manager to discuss a new project on data conversion. This project was on Enterprise Learning module. As a proactive person, I make myself aware of technology before project officially kicks off. Since I had not worked on this module, I started reading user manuals of the Enterprise Learning modules. I also requested this module’s access through a JIRA.

As a summary, it was such a good informative session, which I learned from it and discovered many new ideas to me. At the same time, it was a good opportunity to spend some time

As part of my introduction, I would like to mention that my research project is about mentoring where I have chosen ‘questioning’ as my strategy. In this report, I will discuss in detail about my ‘Mentoring through Questioning’, which is a key for my research project report. Here, I will cover the project’s context in which it was set, my aims and focus of the project, my justification on why I have chosen mentoring through questioning and the types of questions being used during this project, in support of the relevant literature. And then eventually, I will mention about the interactive sessions between a mentor and mentee, the reflection or the perspectives, specifying the self-analysis as well as the required feedback from mentee as part of the research strategy. Later, I will conclude this report by mentioning about the effectiveness of mentoring sessions and the future actions planned for my skills development.

When you’re a teenager, you need someone to look up to, you need a mentor. You need an inspiration. This person can be anyone. It could be a teacher, a friend, a sibling, a parent, an aunt or uncle, a grandparent, anyone. For me, this person is my dance teacher Erica Ireland. Webster 's Dictionary defines a mentor as “someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.” Erica fits into that definition. Not only is she my mentor, but she is also my inspiration. Webster’s Dictionary defines an inspiration as “something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create”, or “a force or influence that inspires someone”, as well as “a person, place,
