Matching Successful matching is critical Strategies for successful matching:
Informal social gatherings Face-to-face meetings Seek out more than one mentor Creating profiles based on matching criteria
e.g., gender, work styles, personality traits 88% of survey respondents said matching was
important to very important

Critical supports
Arrange for recruitment, training & support of mentors
Guidelines for clear goals, expectations & competencies for both mentors & mentees
Code of ethics that addresses: Confidentiality & trust Integrity & honesty Conflict of interest Professionalism
![Page 17: Ces edmonton 2011 mentorship presentation - 15 april 2011 to buksa](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f00c951a28ab187c8b466d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other issues to consider
Potential to become overly “bureaucratic” Mentoring may mitigate the loss of young
evaluators from the field Almost 53% of survey respondents were
from Ontario Bilingual language considerations Costs for program may vary depending on
numbers and approach to infrastructure

Rationale
Have participants share / generate ideas by responding to a series of questions posted around the room.
Especially engaging for kinaesthetic learners (i.e. active participation strategy).
By working in small groups, everyone can contribute. Regroup at the end to share findings.

Instructions Posters are numbered. Participants are given a number corresponding to a
poster. Start at the poster of your number. In groups discuss questions and using markers write
answers below questions. Rotate every 2-3 minutes (timer will indicate when) until
each group has visited each poster. After a complete rotation, group as a whole will review
the responses/major themes at each poster. 1 person at each station can present findings. Discuss, as time permits.

Gallery Walk Questions How do our findings line up with your own
experiences or interest regarding mentorship? What elements are most important to you in a
mentoring program? How should the program be piloted? Should the mentoring program assist participants to
develop the CES core competencies? If so, how? What other things do we need to take into
consideration in developing this mentoring program? Your words of wisdom.
