4.+Challenges

= = Team #1: A. It is important that the competencies or attributes identified as being necessary are imbedded in the selection process. Also, sticking with the attributes as you select. B. What is the mentoring going to look like? The mentor needs to be the right person for the mentee. It has to be someone that can push them forward. Not a mentor that is set in their ways. c. Have a training for the coaches / mentors to support Fellows as they graduate. So they provide adequate support. Not someone to tell them what to do, but to help them grow professionally and personally. D. How will you recruit effectively? E. Train leaders to be recruiters. Help them learn how to identify, how to mentor, and how to coach. F. A challenge could be meeting the diverse needs of your learners. Can the curriculum meet the needs of people from different points in their career? How do you craft a program that can serve newcomers to education all the way to veteran teachers or leaders. G. What is the incentive to have people devote 10 months of their life to this endeavor? What if people are already on the fast track in their organization, why do they want to do this porgram? H. It's finding the talent that is out there. Who are the teachers and leaders that may be out of the pipeline right now and how do you find them? I. This program needs to focus on "What kind of students do you want to produce?" J. How do you institutionalize the recruiting process, not just relying on word of mouth. Becoming dependent on that type of process could be difficult for recrutiing.
