Effective Mentoring Skills and Strategies
Mentors (5 Minutes):
In our first session, we talked about your role as adviser being one of a role model and mentor. The term “mentor” is more than 3,000 years old and has its origin in Greek mythology. When Odysseus went off to fight the Trojans, he left his trusted friend, Mentor, in charge of his household and his son’s education. Ever since, Mentor’s name has been attached to the education of someone by a more experienced person.
Often times, you don’t choose your mentee, your mentee chooses you. In your case, you asked or were asked to serve as a mentor. It is important to remember, you are a mentor for the officer you advise. You are not her peer, nor her parent. You will provide her a different perspective she may not have seen and you will help her find the right path to pursue. While you may provide all of the resources, your advisee may still forge ahead differently, but you are giving her things to think about and raising red flags that will help her plan more thoroughly in the future.
As a mentor, you also remind any advisee of the parameters set forth by the Fraternity Bylaws, Standing Rules and Policies. Collegians can forget these important documents when they are excited about a new idea. And, while it would be far easier to make a decision or execute for the advisee, this will not help her grow as a leader or

Case Studies (20 Minutes):
We are now going to review case studies that have been provided to you.
Instruct participants to divide into five equal groups. Facilitators will need to count the participants in the room and instruct them as to how many people should be in each group. Each group should be located in a different part of the room and will receive one case study.
Each group should designate one volunteer to read the case study and one to record the discussion.
Each group will have five minutes to complete its discussion.
As a group, identify the challenges the chapter officer is facing. As her adviser, how will you guide her in making the correct decision?
Once the five minutes have passed, instruct the five groups to come back together.
Ask one person from each group to read the group’s case study and present its solutions
During the report back, use the questions below to continue the

You as a small group of 3-4 students are asked to choose one of the following scenarios and answer the questions listed below. The manner in which you as a group choose to present your case study is up to groups consensus. What is important is that your address each of the criteria listed on the Criteria Reference Assessment sheet.
2.2 Explain how you prepare an environment that is conducive to the functioning of the group
After completing the group task of preparing a presentation on, transferring individual facilitation skills into a group work setting I will critically reflect upon my own participation. I will evaluate my self-awareness while working in the group, as well as those around me. The way that I personally dealt with any issues that arose within the group and how that affected the group dynamics. I will also briefly discuss the roles in which each member of the group took and how role allocation affected, the group dynamics and the working relationships. Finally I will evaluate my work having discussed it with my fellow group members.
Every participant should be clear about expectations and intentions of the group and about what is expected from her/him.
"Mentoring is a special quality, skill set and attitude," she says. "The benefits are not only between the mentor and mentee, but the future generations."
A group should be small between five to nine persons, so that each one will be able to relate and engage every member in the group. The group is viewed as a system, the condition of any member affects the other (Fatout, 1992).
Mentoring for the mentor is about challenging himself to perform to greater capabilities while nurturing a mentee and stretching them to realise their full potential. Mentors counsel, tutor and guide their mentees in developing themselves.
You may work in a group of up to one people. Any clarifications and revisions to the assignment will be posted on the course Web page.
It typically consists of a facilitator who runs the group, sometimes a co-facilitator or note taker and 6 to 10 participants. The facilitator uses a script that include a set of questions that are posed to the group.
