Please feel free to add your own suggestions and share your comments here and in the Edmodo classroom during the course where you will get specific tasks and questions about the Substantive reading.
I have just read the text " The mentoring relationship". Very good piece of reading , by the way. Interestingly I had mentioned some of those points in my previous posts, including the assignment. I do agree when the text claims that: The mentor is not the only" resource " for the mentees. we are not mirrors and usually have loads of work to do apart form mentoring. I usually say to the mentees: Your best resources are your colleagues. Don't be afraid to share, to ask anything , to do some peer observation. It will help you grow.
Another good thing that called my attention was the suggestion to set a closer relationship with the mentees. Why not inviting them for a cup of coffee, to have lunch or some tea together? It's a way to break the ice and allow them to get to know you are more than a mentor, a DOS, a boss. a teacher, but a real person with wants, needs ,strengths , weaknesses and a personal life to be lived.
Last but not least, thank God, mentees become independent at a certain point. It makes me come back to my initial thoughts posted on this course platforms: Mentoring in not only a matter of developing careers or improve teaching/ learning. It is also an opportunity to form leaders, independent teachers and learners.
