Phases of the Mentoring Relationship
Phase 3: Enabling
The relationship focuses on
developing the mentee.
-
The mentoring partners plan activities and discussions
based on mentee' needs and goals, continue to have discussions and
plan activities as needs arise or simply to follow-up with each other.
-
The mentee develops skills and knowledge to do
the job, develops confidence, networks with peers, and develops
a relationship with the mentor that may last for years to come.
Phase 4: Redefining the Relationship
Mentoring, like all relationships, evolves over time.
-
The partners recognize that as the mentee becomes
comfortable in the role of adult education teacher, the relationship
will change.
-
Together, the mentor and protégée redefine
the relationship, or celebrate their success and bring mentoring
to an end.
