Peer mentoring

About the module

Module convenor: Sugunamalar Vijayaratnam 
Department: CELFE 

The peer mentoring module provides a platform for students to create an informal networking and knowledge sharing opportunity with existing or new students. It gives the opportunity for a more experienced student to assist another new or existing student to develop his or her goals and skills through a series of time-limited, confidential, one-on-one conversations. Mentors are required to attend the first workshop to be held prior to the commencement of the module. This will constitute a training session about being a mentor and to help equip the mentor for their role.

The module assessment will be as follows:  

• Lesson Plan  

Students must create lesson plans for the teaching sessions, which needs to be submitted for review to the module convenor before they begin for guidance and support.
