Think systemically……5th grade need mentors to be part of the Exhibition system.
Please email any of the grade 5 teachers if you are willing to be a part of this exciting journey!
THINK ABOUT BEING A MENTOR FOR A SMALL GROUP!
- The role of the mentor is chiefly to advise and keep students on track
- There should be regular meetings. For the most part we would like mentor meetings to happen during UOI time, in the grade 5 classrooms.
- Offer advice on locating resources and using them efficiently
- Ask questions (i.e. to clarify thinking, to help with processing information, to extend knowledge etc.)
- Help interpret sophisticated/difficult information
- Facilitate interviews, telephone calls, any electronic communication
- Goal setting and time management advice
- Be supportive and encouraging
- Celebrate achievements and successes with the students
Grade 5 students will be most appreciative of your help!
