YOUR HOMEWORK WAS….Mentoring Agreements
Do some research around mentoring agreements:
What is the agreement for?What should the agreement include?
Why is an agreement important?If you find a formal agreement then you can bring it
in…. You would still need to write about what they are for and why they are important!
This was set on ItsLearning – Week 2 folder
ACTIVITY 1
• Complete the task given to you and match up the statements under the correct headings.
• Statements fit under either Formal or Informal
FORMAL AND INFORMAL
FORMAL INFORMAL
A coordinator manages the process Mentoring is managed solely by the mentoring partners
Partnering is a facilitated process with the mentee having the opportunity to chose their mentor
Mentoring partners are matched by chance with the mentor choosing the mentee
Specific aims are directed towards achieving a goal which the mentee has clarified
Non specific, non existent aims are suggested by the mentor
Meeting places are arranged formally in accordance within the guidelines
Informal mentoring happens regular
Timing are set Happens whenever and wherever
Do you think there could be problems with both types of agreement?
ACTIVITY 2Mentoring Agreements (2.1 & 2.2)
Now you know what a FORMAL mentoring agreement contains….
Discuss…. In pairs• What you think an INFORMAL MENTOR AGREEMENT is
• What is the difference between the two?
A MENTORING AGREEMENT
• Commitment

BREAK
15 MINS
ACTIVITY 3Draft your own Mentoring Agreement
• Use an A3 sheet of paper and work in small groups to create a draft Mentoring Agreement (This doesn’t need to be filled in – It should look like a blank form)
• Think about all of the things you should include
• Also think about the wording of the document (Professional)
20 MINS
Peer Assessment/Feedback
• Swap your agreement with another group
• You will peer assess their agreement and provide written developmental feedback (What was good & what could be improved?)
You now need to photocopy this for evidence. Each person in your group needs a copy
IMPORTANCE OF MAKING AN AGREEMENT 2.3
• So both parties know where each other stand• Both parties know what each others role is• Both parties know their boundaries• To set some clear guidelines, rules and regulations• To have a sense of direction• To have a clear goal
WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT?
Activity 4
In small groups
Do you know any of the different types of Mentoring? If not, do some more research.You need to think of or find at least 3 different types.
For each one – write down a reason why someone might use that type of Mentoring, rather than a different type
Example: One to One Mentoring – Personal, confidential
• One – to – one• Group mentoring (or mentoring circles)• Peer mentoring• Business mentoring• E-mentoring• Special Project
All types of mentoring require a mentoring agreement
Some different types of Mentoring
Re-capMentoring Agreements• What are they for?• What should they include?• What type of information is needed?• Why is it important?Types of Mentoring• What types are there?• Why might someone use one and not the
other?
Learning outcomes – Session 3Did you…….?
LO 1: Recap on the last session LO 2: Take part in ice breaker activityPortfolio LO 3: Indicate what is meant by an agreement between the
mentor and the mentee (2.1) LO 4: State the difference between an informal and formal
agreement (2.2) LO 5: Identify why it is important to make an agreement (2.3) LO 6: Create your own draft mentoring agreement (DMS 2.2) LO7: Identify different types of mentoring
HOMEWORKDo some research around what types of things a Mentor may need support with, in their role & where they may be able to get the support from – Internal (Inside their organisation) & External (Outside their organisation)
LO 3 – Be able to identify support available to a mentor• AC 3.1 – Identify situations where a mentor may need to seek support (At least 3
situations)• AC 3.2 & 3.3 – Identify the person that the mentor can directly consult for support
and state the type of support the person can provide• AC 3.4 & 3.5 – Identify others (at least 2 others) that can provide support for a
mentor and state the type of support that those others can provide.
• For example; Think about things that might not be a mentor’s speciality or above their role – Where and who could you go to for information/support and what they might be able to offer you to help you in your role?
This will be set on ItsLearning – Week 3 folderDave (Tutor for next week) will have access to ItsLearning to check how
