You chose:
 |
"What a great goal, Ron! Sounds as if you have already
started making some good plans. Sounds as if you need to get more
information on what services different colleges offer. Your high
school guidance counselor might be able to help. There's a great
web site that has information on planning for college. Check out:
http://www.washington.edu/doit.
Let me know what you find out!" |
This is the correct answer.
If you chose C, congratulations. You are developing the skills you
need to be a good mentor and help your partner find the information
needed to solve problems.
C is the correct answer, because the mentor remembers to use the ASK
strategy.
In this example, the mentor:
- does not try to answer the question herself because she knows that
her answer would not be correct, current and complete
- suggests that Ron ask someone else and suggests whom he should
ask. The mentor writes:
"Your high school guidance counselor might be able
to help. " |
- knows the Internet and suggests that Ron check out a web
site to find out more information about planning for college and accessibility.
The mentor writes:
- listens to Ron and encourages him. The mentor writes:
"What a great goal, Ron! Sounds as if you have already
started making some good plans." |
- asks questions to help Ron describe his specific goal and
describe why this goal is important (Step 1 of DO IT!). The
mentor writes:
"Can you tell me a bit more about why you want to
go to college?" |
In this answer, the mentor doesnt doesnt solve the problem
for Ron, doesn't criticize, doesnt react hastily, and doesnt
"yakkity yak yak" about other things. The mentor helps Ron
find the information he needs to make a good plan to go to college.
