Formal Mentoring Going Strong
Hi All,
Mentoring is not new and been around for a while.......
But, perhaps taking a formal approach by giving one on one attention for a period of time to help editor to move up in rank(s) it is. Our goal is to change focus on number of edits to quality edits. This isn't just a new way of mentoring, rather culture change. With quality edits in mind we focus on all ranks from 1 and up. We also like to focus on community aspects too. Those who would like to achieve certain community roles and even become a champ will benefit from Formal Mentoring. While they are rank 3 or 4, they think and act like the role.
There are so many people has a part on this Formal Mentoring Program. But, everything first started while Ori and I discussing educating a new editor and challenges that come along with it. Later with Noam's help Formal Mentoring started to take shape. I was testing the waters by helping individual editors and give one on one attention. The results were great. Some of these editors just enough edits to have rank 2 or 3 had enough knowledge and quality edits as a rank 5. Naturally, they are promoted to rank 3 then 4 and 5's.
With these great results we started talking about Formal Mentoring. Noam's presentation was the the final touch to make this a project to become a Formal Mentoring.
I maybe started this as a little idea but to make it this far I have to thank many.
Just to name a few:
I also like to acknowledge the interest to our Formal Mentoring from other communities.
