Mentoring is a 6 year-old community of practice of teacher educators worldwide. We have been offering workshops consistently on different issues related to Mentoring and this year we want to delve into a more personal aspect of it: developing one’s own mentoring skills. We will share, show and discuss the skills in webinars with our expert members. Would you like to join us?

Objectives

In the course of the 5 weeks, participants will work collaboratively to:

use various synchronous and asynchronous web tools to communicate with colleagues worldwide,

interact through e-mail, text chat, voice chat, among others,

reflect on and define their mentoring skills through exchange with peers ,

discuss possibilities of implementing the skills in their communities of practice.

Weekly chats will be held to discuss content and pre-defined topics, build rapport and create a sense of community.

In the first week, we will first introduce ourselves when signing in for the group through the Yahoo Groups.

Then, in the wiki, we will leave a comment on what mentoring means to us (having had experience with it or not) to start sharing and as a kickoff to our final project.
