  10. In seeking to determine the developmental level of a beginning teacher, mentors might ask themselves . . . 1. How motivated is he with regard to a particular task? 2. Is she willing and able to assume responsibility? 3. What skills does he have with regard to this particular task or problem? 4. What prior experience has she had in similar situations?

  11. Working in your groups, take 2 minutes to think of situations in which it would be appropriate for a mentor to employ a directive approach to mentoring.

  12. When to Use Directive Behaviors Directing Standardizing Reinforcing • When the mentor has knowledge that the mentee does not possess • When the mentor knows what the problem is and the mentee does not • When the mentee’s behavior is self-defeating but is not viewed as such by the mentee • When the mentee is consistently defensive and closed to feedback • In a crisis situation where the personal or professional well-being of the mentee is at stake

  13. Working in your groups, take 2 minutes to think of situations in which it would be appropriate for a mentor to employ a nondirective approach to mentoring.

  14. When to Use Nondirective Behaviors Listening Clarifying Encouraging • When the mentee possesses more knowledge than the mentor • When the mentee is seriously concerned about a problem and the mentor does not see a problem • When the mentor judges that a mentee’s proposed action is safe • When the beginning teacher is capable but reluctant to act • When the mentor wants to gain insight into the mentee’s level of skill or motivation

  15. Working in your groups, take 2 minutes to think of situations in which it would be appropriate for a mentor to employ a collaborative approach to mentoring.

  16. When to Use Collaborative Behaviors Reflecting Presenting Problem Solving Negotiating • When the mentor and mentee both possess knowledge about the topic or issue • When the mentor understands one part of a problem and the mentee understands another part • When there is time for collaboration, and the mentor senses that the mentee is ready to assume more responsibility • When the mentor senses that the mentee needs to feel part of the decision-making process

  17. Homework • Search the internet and find at least 2 articles about mentoring • Work on your Individual Projects and your coupon books • Do at least one mentoring activity with someone in your school.
