MENTORING SYSTEM – PHILOSOPHY, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES

SYSTEM

Sri Sharada College has a strong mentoring system. Each student is attached to a faculty mentor for personal guidance, career advancement, and development. Faculty members continue to be the mentors with the students allocated to them for every academic year. Every faculty member is expected to create a rapport with the student mentee, encourage her/him to ask questions, attempt to clarify doubts, and facilitate counseling on academic or personal issues, whenever required.

MENTORSHIP – PHILOSOPHY

The essence of mentorship is a sustained human relationship; a one-to-one direct relationship that ensures a student believes that he/she is a valued person. A mentor is expected to focus on the mentee’s holistic development by guiding him/her in areas like academics, assignments, projects, cultural activities, sports, placements, etc. Mentors are also focused on the overall development of the personality of the student by helping them develop communication skills, attitude, confidence, initiative, enterprise, adaptability, flexibility, and other abilities required to face the modern world.

MEETINGS WITH MENTEES

The mentor is required to conduct regular meetings with mentees. The meetings are in the form of both groups and one-to-one basis. While appointing/nominating the mentors care is taken to ensure that only the teachers who are handling the respective classes become the mentors for those classes.

RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING

The mentor is expected to record the details of each meeting. He/she should undertake remedial measures or corrective measures for the problems faced by their mentees and include them in their reports. All such reports shall be submitted to the head of the institution if the corrective measures require any financial commitment or affect the policy of the institution. The effectiveness of such corrective measures shall be documented.

MENTOR- PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.

A mentor is expected to maintain professional standards, improve mentoring skills and exercise good judgment when engaged in every activity involving her/his mentee and work with the mentee to establish mutual respect, friendship, motivation, and measurable goals.
