Mentoring Definition

Off-line help by one person to another in

making significant transitions in knowledge work
or thinking (Clutterbuck 1990)

To help and support people to manage

their own learning in order to maximise
their potential, develop their skills,
improve their performance and become the
person they want to be (Parsloe, 1992)
What is mentoring?
Mentoring is a positive developmental partnership, which is driven
primarily by the mentee. It offers a reflective space where the mentee
can take responsibility for and discuss their development
Its primary aim is to build capability and self-reliance in the Mentee
Mentors can help highlight issues and to assist the Mentee in planning
ways through them
They can help clarify the Mentee's perspective while bringing an
additional impartial view to bear on the issues
Sometimes, when the issues are straightforward and urgent, a Mentor
might offer advice or give some direction
Confidentiality, trust, understanding and positive expectation are key
to a successful partnership
Mentoring Is Not

For dealing with underperforming individuals

Taking on the problems or work of the Mentee a
Mentor should not find themselves doing things outside
the mentoring sessions for a mentee
Promoting/sponsoring/protecting the mentee
Intended to deal with personal issues
Therapy
Allowing people to moan (except maybe sometimes...)
What can Mentoring do?
Mentoring can help Mentees to:
Address the issues and concerns of their daily working life
and find solutions that work for them
Improve their level of performance and satisfaction levels
Understand key institutional and decision-making structures
Build relationships with colleagues and feel part of the
community
Manage the integration of job, career and personal goals
Mentoring Principles
The Mentee drives the Mentoring agenda

Engagement is on a voluntary basis for both the Mentor and the

Mentee

The Mentoring relationship is confidential

Mentoring is non-directive in its approach

It is a relationship built upon trust and mutual respect

The Mentor empowers the Mentee to take responsibility for

their own learning and career development

The relationship places no obligation on either party beyond its

developmental intent
Manager vs. Mentor

It is not the role of the Mentor to interfere with Mentees day to

day activities or objectives

The Mentee may however, wish to discuss how they can improve
daily activities with the Mentor

The relationship between Mentee and Mentor is confidential

The Mentoring Cycle

1. Rapport-building: Developing mutual trust and comfort

2. Contracting/Ground Rules: Exploring each others expectations of mentoring
3. Direction-setting: Agreeing initial goals for the relationship
4. Progress making: Experimentation and learning proceed rapidly
5. Maturation: Relationship becomes mutual in terms of learning
and mentee becomes increasingly self-reliant.
6. Closure: Formal relationship ends, an informal one may
continue

The Challenger Making Waves; challenging, stimulating,

Mentoring Process
A single conversation across the table with a wise
man is better than ten years mere study of books.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from

people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their
frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go
almost all the way through life as complete
strangers to ourselves - so how can we know
anyone. - Sydney J. Harris
 CLASS REPRESENTATIVES (CRs)
There are two representatives required for each
class, who are nominated by class members or you
can put yourself forward. If required there will be
an election held in class with the assistance of your
class mentor.
In different sections of first year there will be two
class representatives from each class and they are
selected unanimously. If unanimous selection is not
possible then Mentor may nominate the class
representatives. These class representatives takes
lead role from students side on different occasion.
All the first year CRs will form a group known as
First year CR group.

quickly among all the students.

between students and staff

in examination hall.

Punctuality maintained by all students for arriving in

classroom (none should not be late by more than 5-10
minutes).
 CRs Responsibilities
Should not take any matter to the teacher, which
benefits only a few students, without taking taking
into the confidence the entire class. ( e.g: Shifting of
class hours, tutorials, exam schedule, alteration of
marks distribution etc).

volunteer to give proxy for others, during signing of
attendance. Proxies identified will be reported.
Expected to have good rapport with all students and
have a cordial relation with them.

studying/interested)
 Attendance Monitoring System
Attendance is compiled weekly and is available on website.
Better attendance reflects ultimately on your CGPA score
which is the main criteria to get short listed for campus
placements. So, dont waste much energy on social
networking sites and other such distractions. Instead have a
balanced time routine and focus on the studies.
We will be informing your parents regarding your progress
from time to time . So, I hope all of you will try for 100%
attendance as we want you to thrive & succeed here
academically ,socially and personally.
