Mentors' Top Ten Tips

1. Remember that you were a student teacher once.
2. We're all life-long learners.
3. Be an advocate not another concern.
4. Be specific and never assume. You may have to repeat it later.
5. Don't forget the child, the person among the EALR's.
6. Sense when to let go. Give an opportunity to develop.
7. Include MIT as a colleague/partner.
8. Don't let something go- address problems and concerns diplomatically.
9. Embrace the "hats." ("Three roles of mentoring")
10. Your recommendation (tip) upon reflection.
