What makes a mentor?
Anyone who has ever thought about or even done any has a pretty good idea of just exactly what the job takes.This article focuses on the skills of mentoring... have you got what it takes to commit yourself to this important and rewarding role?During mentoring workshopswith arange of organisations, we used the repertory grid tool to ask delegates to identify from their experience exactly what it was that differentiates the best mentors from the rest? We have drawn up a diagnostic questionnaire to help even the best mentors identify any issues to help target their future development.These statements invite a self-assessment response on a scale of 'always' to 'rarely' or 'never'. For example: I possess great patience. I can challenge assumptions skilfully. I can avoid the temptation to direct conversations back to myself, and my issues and expectations. In total,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the diagnostic questionnaire has 50 such statementsthat should be enough for any busy teacher! In workshops meant to introduce people to the mentoring role, we are finding this a very direct way to help people focus on the competences needed in a skilled mentor.Below is a diagnostic questionnaire. Please feel free to copy this and use it widely. Barrie Smale is Assistant Editor of Teaching Expertise.
