  • Mentoring
    

    The key factors in mentoring are purposefulness, confidential interaction, and commitment. In this course, the group commits to a meeting with their mentor. Before coming to the meeting, the group prepares for the meeting

    •  by being in touch and arranging a time and place for the meeting
    • setting goals and topics for the meeting
    • telling the mentor about these in advance so that the mentor can prepare for the appointment

    The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the goal chosen by the group, discuss about it in confidence and look for alternative solutions and routes together. It is a good idea to choose a goal that is small and concrete enough to be tackled in this timeframe. The goal can also be divided into sub-goals. If it is necessary to take notes, it is a good idea to agree which of the group members will take them.

    Also the mentor has prepared for the appointment in advance

    • by getting acquainted with the documents, goals and topics they received
    • reserving the time for the group

    At the beginning of the meeting, the group tells the mentor about their wishes and developmental action points. The mentor can clarify the goals and help think ahead, but they doen't not solve the goal or set them. Within the time available, the mentor commits to supporting the group development project. This course has one 2-hour meeting between the mentor and the group, in addition to which the group and the mentor can, based on everyone’s schedule, arrange other meetings and other mentoring related to curriculum development. Matters talked about in mentoring can only be told outside the group if this has been agreed together. The mentoring is goal-oriented and the purpose is that after the meeting, the group would have the following ideas on how to start developing the issue. If necessary, the matter can be returned to, for example, in the joint TEAMS group.
