What does a Student Driven Team look like? • There are active student captains/co-captains • Student leaders help to organize and run events • Mentors are there for guidance, they don’t run the show • Student run meetings, mentors are participants/supervisors
Who’s Involved in Creating a Student Driven Team? • Your mentors • Your team members • You!
Dealing with your Mentors • Mentors should encourage leadership • Students in charge = less work for mentors • Invite students into leadership roles, don’t expect people to just ‘step up’ • A leadership role should look welcoming, not intimidating
Dealing with your Mentors • Mentors are to embrace teaching roles • Returning alumni, transition from member to mentor • Mentors help mentors • Never leave a mentor working alone, stick them with a student or three • Encourage mentors to take on teaching opportunities
Getting your Students Involved • Students in leadership roles encourage continuity • ‘Who are you training to replace you?’ • Build confidence in younger members • Push them to their ‘learning edge’ • Captains don’t run everything!
Getting your Students Involved • Student members should feel like they are valued • Comfortable contributing to conversations and team projects • Opinions aren’t immediately dismissed by senior member or mentors • Questions are welcome, they know who to go to for clarification and advice • Create constructive busy work
What Can You Do? • As a student, • Don’t be afraid to step up • Initiative is a good thing! • As a mentor, • Be an example for your other mentors • If you see potential leadership in a student, foster it!
