[Japanling] Introducing the Mastering Mentoring series

[National Foreign Language Resource Center]

Mastering Mentoring: Conversations with Accomplished Mentors
<https://nflrc.hawaii.edu/events/view/olpmentoring/> provides a valuable
resource for individuals interested in improving their mentoring skills.
Drawing on interviews with experienced mentors of online language teachers,
the six TED-Ed lessons illustrate strategies and provide useful tips for
helping mentees achieve their goals. The lessons focus on the following key
areas:


   1.

   What’s in it for Mentors?: Benefits include gaining broader
   perspectives, inspiration from new challenges, problem-solving
   partnerships, reciprocal learning from mentees, and deeper insights into
   educational strategies, to name a few.
   2.

   Ground Rules for a Successful Mentorship: Learn about the importance of
   resources, authenticity, active listening, trust, and transparent
   communication and ways to establish respect, boundaries, and balance.
   3.

   Logistics & Preparation: Preparation and organization can go a long way
   toward ensuring a smooth and beneficial experience for mentors and mentees
   alike. Discover tools and approaches for both.
   4.

   Building Rapport: Explore strategies such as prioritizing synchronous
   Zoom meetings, allotting time for genuine check-ins, sharing stories to
   invite openness, and showing curiosity and interest in mentees’ experiences
   and backgrounds.
   5.

   Addressing Common Challenges: How do you handle challenges such as time
   management, impostor syndrome, and institutional cultures resistant to
   collaboration? Listen in and find out!
   6.

   Advice & Encouragement: The mentors look back on lessons they’ve
   learned, and offer advice for those newer to the role.
