Welcome to #profchat Tonight's topic: The role of mentor-model educators in teaching. Tell us who you are and where you teach.

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:05 PM EST

We will use the Q and A format. 9 Questions. Intro Q: How did you become interested in mentor-model educators? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:10 PM EST

Q1. How would you describe a mentor-model educator? Do you think a mentor educator is different from a model educator? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:15 PM EST

Q2. During your tenure as a college or graduate student did you have a mentor-model educator? Was this a formal arrangement? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:20 PM EST

Q3. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 as “no influence” and 10 as “significant influence” how would you rate your mentor-model? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:25 PM EST

Q4. Would you describe your mentor-model as a content-driven or a pedagogical role model? Could they be both? Why? #profchat

stephwurking Mar 1 @ 8:29 PM EST

#profchat Hello, everyone!

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:30 PM EST

Q5. How has your own practice been shaped by your mentor-model educators? Was the influence positive? Negative? #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:30 PM EST

Just came home through snow. Anna joining fashionably late #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:32 PM EST

A1 Unsure. Was hoping for some examples for comparison to my perception #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

@ambartosik Reply Model may be go-to person for best practice. Mentor may interact directly to shape projects. Could do both. #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:35 PM EST

Q6. Do you see technology as enhancing or amplifying the effect of the mentor-model educator? Detracting or overshadowing? #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:36 PM EST

A1b both, then #profchat https://t.co/HMuacZl2ec

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:34 PM EST

@ambartosik Reply Model may be go-to person for best practice. Mentor may interact directly to shape projects. Could do both. #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:36 PM EST

A2 no, never #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:38 PM EST

A2 Still appreciate the model of my book writing, grant securing dissertation director who was game for a class debate #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:39 PM EST

A3 I'd say it depends on who the mentee is. Usually a 3-4. Your experiences, @philosophypaul ? #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

@philosophypaul truth :) #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

Q7. Can a mentor-model educator promote student-centered learning? How? #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:40 PM EST

A1: would a mentor role model be more intentional in supporting the mentee or am I off here #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

Hi @philosophypaul and @ambartosik @stephwurking seems we are the only people here for #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

@ambartosik Reply: Yes, variable. Some official mentor advisers not so good. Others terrific. Passionate about learning. #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:41 PM EST

@philosophypaul 1st year classes weren't smaller than 500 students; intro psych 2000 ss #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

@dinamoati Reply A1: Intentional would be up for grabs. Best scenario: yes. If not, and good, wow. #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

A2: we do have a system in place at the college for full time faculty but is on a volunteer basis. Not sure how many use it though #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

@ambartosik Reply: mentor-models know names rather than numbers. Personalized learning #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

I think it has more added value when we pick our own peer mentors rather than being assigned one based on policies #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

A4 Content thru pedagogical lens? #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:44 PM EST

@philosophypaul agreed, this is why I'm a strong believer in Edus choosing their own peer mentors #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

@philosophypaul is there a process in place at your uni Paul? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

Q8. What are some responsibilities of a mentor-model educator for individual students, the institution, or the social community? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

Yes, content-focus that never loses sight of the Ss.#profchat https://t.co/FE9S3II9zY

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

A4 Content thru pedagogical lens? #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:46 PM EST

@philosophypaul @ambartosik amen to that! #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5 my negative experiences helped shape positive frameworks for me; determined not to treat people as I was treated #profchat

Lina_476 Mar 1 @ 8:47 PM EST

A1: not sure I really know difference. I feel like you're just observing in Model A2: No to both #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6: I think tech opens door to a global circle of mentors, flexibility and availability #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:47 PM EST

@dinamoati Reply: Yes. And sometimes mutual growth may be required to make the connection. #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:48 PM EST

@dinamoati @philosophypaul @stephwurking Only the cream rises to the top #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:48 PM EST

Great point. We may choose to model what we missed, that is, what was deficient. #profchat https://t.co/jkPRYDq5Dl

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5 my negative experiences helped shape positive frameworks for me; determined not to treat people as I was treated #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:48 PM EST

@ambartosik so much truth in here Anna. Past experiences are the best teachers. #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:49 PM EST

A6 more possibilities exist with tech. Doesn't have to be in person contact, and connecting is so easy thru all types of media #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:49 PM EST

Definitely. Tech can facilitate a relationship btw Ss and mentor-models w/o obscuring it. #profchat https://t.co/wholEwh692

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6: I think tech opens door to a global circle of mentors, flexibility and availability #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

Q9. Do you see yourself as a mentor-model educator? Why? What do you plan to do about it? #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

@philosophypaul it's important that we embrace the mentality of humility in our profession. Teach=learn #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

@ambartosik I would say the tech is complimentary and can expand the scope of the relationship #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

@philosophypaul @dinamoati it makes a difference even if you live in the same city. Not a sacrifice to connect #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

@philosophypaul tough one Paul!I think I see myself as a collaborative educator who's forever willing to learn,help, & collaborate #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

Yes. Best mentor-models maintain confidence while never losing a sense of humility #profchat https://t.co/JiTkmk4W95

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

@philosophypaul it's important that we embrace the mentality of humility in our profession. Teach=learn #profchat

Lina_476 Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

Agree @dinamoati I feel like this is what I am doing right now as a grad student in digital literacy class & bit lost in this chat #profchat

JuliePJones Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

@dinamoati I'd agree- I ❤️ my f2f mentors, but connecting with k12 Ts via Twitter & @Skype made inst real #profchat https://t.co/9YaqGRFE2Y

@ambartosik @philosophypaul and you have the immediacy of responses #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:53 PM EST

@ambartosik complementary! #blameautocorrectnottheteacher #profchat

JuliePJones Mar 1 @ 8:53 PM EST

@philosophypaul @ambartosik what was it that opened your eyes to the deficiencies? Another model? #profchat

philosophypaul Mar 1 @ 8:53 PM EST

A life-long learner is a mentor-model. #profchat https://t.co/7JDnwaLs3M

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

@philosophypaul tough one Paul!I think I see myself as a collaborative educator who's forever willing to learn,help, & collaborate #profchat

dinamoati Mar 1 @ 8:54 PM EST

@ambartosik @dinamoati A8 Responsibilities include awareness that Ss and community respect the voice of the mentor-model for good #profchat

ambartosik Mar 1 @ 8:59 PM EST

@philosophypaul @dinamoati and an acknowledgement that learning is 2-way? Not just a feeding from one to another? #profchat
