There is so much more to being a successful mentor than we often realise.

So often we see mentors facing challenges with understanding what their role is and how best to support and coach others. We hear mentors and teachers with concerns about understanding the requirements for gathering of evidence and documentation. And we see mentors struggle with how to help teachers to lift their game.

Successful mentors have skills that enable them to;
- Ask questions that create deeper level thinking and problem solving
- Give feedback that contributes to growth and improvement
- Tackle difficult conversations that they might normally shy away from
- Know what to say, and when
- Know how to guide people and where to go to for more information

“My skills and ability to mentor others successfully doubled after the workshop I attended with Barbara Watson. I now feel so much more confident to tackle difficult conversations and to ask questions that supports teachers to problem solve themselves, rather than me doing it for them."
Becs, Kids Collective Paeroa
