Re: Mentor Envolvment

Just wanted to say:
1) I agree with everything RoboMom says (very well said!)

2) The degree to which Mentors should be involved with any activity of the team depends to a great deal on the team. That is to say, if you have a rookie team, mentors will probably end up doing more, if you have a veteran team with many returning members, you will do less.

The bottom line is to look at our role as mentors and try to fit our involvement into what is best for the kids. Personally, I feel that my role is to teach the kids everything that FIRST represents and, more importantly, to get them to ACT in accordance with the spirit of "gracious professionalism".

As a mentor, I do not stress that the team must succeed. I try to stress the activities and actions that will help the team succeed.

Don't know if that answers the question (probably not), just giving you the guidelines that I try to work within.

Good Luck!
