1 Communication skills

Communication is the foundation of any mentoring relationship. Teacher mentors need to be able to listen actively, ask open-ended questions, provide constructive feedback, and express empathy and support. They also need to be able to adapt their communication style to the needs and preferences of their mentees, and use different modes of communication, such as face-to-face, online, or phone. Communication skills can help teacher mentors build rapport, trust, and mutual understanding with their mentees.

In the multiple mentoring processes in which I have been able to accompany personalities, I have often learned that the sparring partner approach works more sustainably than the coaching approach. Sharing experiences at eye level, asking questions of the mentor, and developing a shared sense of transformation create a space for reflection that is highly effective.

2 Coaching skills

Coaching is a form of mentoring that focuses on helping mentees achieve their goals and improve their performance. Teacher mentors need to have coaching skills to help their mentees identify their strengths and areas for improvement, set realistic and measurable goals, plan and implement actions, and reflect and evaluate their progress. Coaching skills can help teacher mentors empower their mentees to take ownership of their learning and development, and foster a growth mindset.

3 Observation skills

Observation is a key tool for teacher mentors to assess the current situation, identify the challenges and opportunities, and provide feedback and suggestions. Teacher mentors need to have observation skills to conduct classroom visits, review lesson plans and materials, and analyze student data. They also need to be able to observe objectively, without bias or judgment, and use evidence-based criteria to evaluate the teaching practice. Observation skills can help teacher mentors provide relevant and specific feedback and guidance to their mentees.

4 Collaboration skills

Collaboration is a process of working together to achieve a common goal or outcome. Teacher mentors need to have collaboration skills to work effectively with their mentees, as well as other stakeholders, such as school leaders, colleagues, parents, and students. They also need to be able to facilitate collaboration among their mentees, and encourage them to participate in professional learning communities, peer coaching, or action research. Collaboration skills can help teacher mentors create a culture of learning and sharing, and leverage the collective wisdom and resources of the school.

5 Leadership skills

Leadership is the ability to influence and inspire others to achieve a vision or purpose. Teacher mentors need to have leadership skills to model and promote high standards of teaching and learning, and to advocate for their mentees' needs and interests. They also need to be able to inspire and motivate their mentees, and help them develop their own leadership potential. Leadership skills can help teacher mentors create a positive impact on their mentees, their students, and their school.

One skill I have found to be of premium importance in coaching/ mentoring is; Emotional Intelligence. Every learner sorts of dread learning. The ability to assimilate and interprete new concepts, the ability to apply new concepts and possibly face assessment are all dreadful and cause major stress to the psychology of learners. A Teacher must be empathetic. Remembering always the stress they had while learning too. A teacher should consistently switch roles with the learners, hacking into their feelings and helping to give them assurance that they can do it. Breaking topics into bite sizes for them for easy assimilation. Giving them the opportunity to contribute and share their learnings along the way are all ways to show learners empathy.
