Recommended: Reflection On Mentoring

My philosophy of student mentoring is to help students finding their true interest, setting their future career goal, instill the belief in themselves and guide them through to achieve the goal. Mentoring students provides them with guidance and insights from the faculty’s collective experience. These insights lead students to discover new avenues of study, explore potential arenas for work experience and develop research interests. I believe mentoring is an integral part of a faculty. They are the advocate for students. I would like to be useful resources for students and use my intellect and experiences to guide students.
I mentor student in a collaborative way. Thus, I can figure out student’s weakness and strength form their input, which helps me to guide them in a efficient way for their future success. As a mentor, I value, respect, and care students’ opinion and feedback. I make sure that students feel comfortable and open to express their opinion, mistakes and suggestions. I also motivate and guide them in a proactive and engaging way so that they can be an independent decision maker either in their study, research or career. …show more content…

    Mentoring has changed over time, in the past mentoring could be defined as the transferring of knowledge from mentor to mentee, whereas now it is more of an exchange of ideas and skills.

  • Essay On Coaching And Mentoring

    1105 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coaching and mentoring is a constant process that occurs all throughout a future teacher’s journey. While attending a university, it is common while in the teacher preparation program to undergo several coaching sessions and mentoring periods, which is great! Normally this continues through the first year of teaching, but something happens after that first year. If a relationship isn’t built, encouraged, and made intentional, the coaching stops. For teachers, this is strange. We are taught to constantly coach, encourage, mentor, and teach our students, but when it comes to our peers, those under us, etc., we assume that each teacher has suddenly “made it” as if someone who can make it through their first year is automatically “good to go” and will not encounter any hiccups along the way to becoming a veteran. In some instances, the teaching community is a selfish profession for the fact that you do what needs to be done for you and the students you serve, but not for your peers. You do not share your lessons, ideas, concerns, etc. Some teachers are still under the impression that if they are struggling, they are doing it wrong or they are not a “good” teacher. This is a fallacy that needs to be talked about. There is a reason that peer coaching

Therefore, the following will highlight my mentee experience as a second year student, and then my mentor experience as a third year student. About a year ago when I arranged to meet with my mentor to discuss the internship process, I remember thinking it was way to early to start thinking about internship.
