  3. WebWheel mentoring • Mentoring is a one-to-one session between a mentor and a learner • Sessions usually last between 20 and 30 minutes • Mentors are tutors in the centre • Each learner has a mentor • The purpose of mentoring is to draw up an individual action plan (IAP)

  4. How does it work? • The mentoring involves three steps: • Looking at how things are. Asking how happy are you with this? • Thinking about how else you might like it to be. • Planning what to do.

  5. Three-step process Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3

  6. Step 1: Thinking about the current situation • You are being invited to talk about how your life is • The mentor does not probe • The Wheel is used to consider a wide range of life factors • You evaluate your situation under each factor by giving it a rating from 1 to 5

  11. Step 2: Imagining how else your life might be • You get in touch with how you would like your situation to be, under each factor heading • You identify your desires or dreams for yourself • Knowing what you would like to be different is a motivation for taking action and bringing about change

  12. Step 3: Drawing up an individual action plan • The focus is on action • The IAP is your plan for yourself • Only what you want goes into your IAP • The plan can be about addressing your problems • The plan can be about building on your strengths • The plan can include locating supports outside of the centre

  13. Possible content areas of an IAP Home Methodologies Subjects (eg Woodwork) Work experience Modules (eg FETAC) Courses (eg LCA) Support (inside centre) Lifeskills programmes Support (outside centre) Activities (eg social, sports, drama, trips) Individual Action Plan

  14. Confidentiality • What is confidential between you and your mentor? • What is shared with other members of staff? • What is reported to social services or the Gardaí?
