Re: What constitutes Mentoring another team?
Rachel,
I was here editing my post and caught yours following mine, very quickly. My immediate thought is that you have a clear understanding of what your team is doing and you have answered your question.
That's a very simple response but I don't think mentoring needs to be that complicated when thinking about it. If your RD contacts your team and asks you to work with a rookie team in the manner in which you did, that is definitely a signal to you that you are considered to be a team that can help or can mentor another team. As many of us are aware of, rookie and pre-rookie teams are not always receptive to help, support, and/or mentoring and even those of us with the best of intentions are challenged by the refusals of help. Those of us lucky enough to have teams that appreciate and welcome the help, support, and/or mentoring will have an incredible experience and we are better teams for it.
