Let’s see what you remember…

5. ItsLearning submissions
• Please remember to check ItsLearning for
feedback and to see if you have met criteria.
• Ask at break time/end of session if you are
unsure on anything
• It is the last session next week so we need to
ensure you work is up to date.

6. YOUR HOMEWORK WAS..
• Mentees to think about and write ideas down for the
Mentor meeting next week
• Complete the paperwork for the scenario (The Process)
• Mentors to think and write down some questions you
may ask to gain information, understand the need and
to begin building rapport with your Mentee
• Complete the paperwork for the scenario (The Process)
We will discuss this as a group to share ideas and see
how you got on

7. Paperwork for your meeting
• Confidentiality statement – To be discussed with
the mentee so that they understand what it means
• Mentoring agreement – To be completed in full
(You will need to discuss various things on there to complete it)

the session has been concluded)

Page 24 in your workbook (Blue unit)

9. Choosing which pair will go first…
• In order to maximise the feedback you are
given (peer feedback and observer feedback), I
would like each pair to take it in turns rather
than complete the meetings all at once.
• Mentees will draw a stick from my hand and
the longest stick drawn will go first

10. Is there anything you
need to ask..?
Work in pairs to discuss what you will be doing,
the observation and the criteria you need to
meet…
Write down any questions regarding the
observation or the mentoring session before it
goes ahead.

11. BREAK TIME

14. Observers
• I have created a Padlet wall on ItsLearning for you to
provide feedback on what went well and what could
be improved. This can be done as you observe each of
the mentoring sessions
• Leave comments on the wall for the pair to read once
they are finished – Ensure you include your name on
it
• Please be quiet whilst mentoring sessions are in
progress – There are other ways you can
communicate

with feedback
