Background

Individualized student-teacher conferences are tailored mentoring sessions.  These individualized mentoring sessions enrich the teaching experience by allowing students and teachers to:

​

1.  Set and track academic goals​

2.  Foster creative passions

3.  Build relationships based on trust and understanding.

​

What makes these individual mentor meetings slightly difficult to implement in a mainstream set up is the 'How' and the 'When'. 

​

There is no tangible lesson plan.  The session is guided by the teacher's ability to listen, reflect and facilitate. And then of course there is the question of the 'when'.  How to fit these sessions into an already busy curriculum?

​

This INSET will equip its participants with the following:

• A framework for conducting an individual mentoring session.  

• A logistics framework - when to plan the sessions and where to conduct them.

• Essential mentoring skills.

• A regular self-reflection practice.

 

Theoretical Knowledge

1. The Mentoring Skills Model

2. Building Blocks for Learning

​

Practical Knowledge

3. Identifying a personal practice for self-reflection.
