The Role of the Mentor

iii) share best practice and act as a role model.

iv) intervene on the new lecturer/teacher's behalf when necessary;

v) provide guidance on College issues;

vi) provide feedback on performance and

vii) help to clarify the objectives/targets.

The new lecturer should establish regular meetings with the Mentor to discuss or seek advice on the issues mentioned above. The Mentor is required to comment on the new lecturers progress.
