W5 Lecture 1 "Mentoring" Mentoring There are two main types of mentoring. Hierarchial mentoring occurs between two people who occupy different social positions or social locations. Peer mentoring occurs in a relationship where a more experienced student helps with a less experienced student in improving overall academic performance. This improvement can result when the mentor includes support, advise, and knowledge. A significant role of a mentor – regardless of which type of mentoring is prevalent – is to encourage reflection (guess that’s why we addressed reflection already!) as we now understand the connection between reflection and learning. The mentor can guide the mentee to accomplish this reflection (especially during the service-learning project) by asking the following, which in turn the mentee can reflect upon: 1. Identify issues which may need to be addressed 2. Reflect on similar experiences 3. By asking probing and situational context questions, additional tools and resource ideas may emerge. W5 Lecture 2 "Leadership and Service-Learning" Leadership and Service- Learning Historically, leaders came to be leaders because they were either just made that way; possessing the characteristics and traits traditionally seen in a leader, or they were “in the right place at the right time”. Contemporary times have led to changes in who really becomes a leader. A transformational leadership style emphasizes the role a leader plays in transforming the outlook and actions of other group members so the focus is not on the individuals themselves, but members think about what is good for the entire organization or society as a whole. A servant leadership style seeks to transform others, but places the emphasis on empowering others while still meeting their own needs. In general, leaders have to evaluate not just their own goals, but the entire population that the leader works with – this could be just a small group, or the global population as The President of the United States has to consider. Any leader must also consider the cultural diversities we discussed in Chapter 5. There are two specific achieving leadership styles – Connective Leadership and Direct Leadership. Each of these styles are directly linked to effective leadership and incorporate the concept of a director, connector, or persuader. Director – Leader who utilizes power and authority to lead by telling others what to do. This type of leader will use technology to influence and control other group members. Connector – Leader who specializes in the relational leadership style. This type of leader is more interdependent and values cooperation while enjoying the social aspect of group members. Persuader – Leader who specializes in the instrumental leadership style. This leader tries to use resources to help persuade others to adopt the positions of the leader or take on tasks reflective of the persuader’s goals. W5 Lecture 3 & 4 "Mentoring, Leadership, and ServiceLearning" Mentoring, Leadership, and Service-Learning https://youtu.be/BJgbL5G67BA W5 Lecture 4 "Presentation Basics" Presentation Basics https://youtu.be/zwtSwcaoaVo Running Head: FINAL PROJECT GU299 Final Project: Click Here to Type Your Title Click Here to Type Your Name… Grantham University FINAL PROJECT 1 Click here to type your title again Begin with the attention-getter, tie in the background information, and end the introduction with your thesis.

This week, you will be submitting a rough draft of that project. Using the information from your outline, your bibliography, and your literature review, combine the information to create a rough draft (you will have the opportunity for this to be reviewed by your instructor and your peers). Once you have completed your work, post it to W6 Discussion: Peer Review forum. Note that we will return to this forum in week 6. Pay close attention to the following criteria to ensure you covered everything. For All Assignment Types Your assignment should be well-organized and demonstrate an orderly flow of information that clearly addresses the subject chosen. In addition to the above criteria, your final project should include the following elements. You have three options in how you can present your final project: As a Paper Your paper should be creative and demonstrate what you have learned. It should be a minimum of 5-7 pages in length and you will use APA style formatting with a title page and reference section. You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, doublespace your lines, and set your page up with one inch margins. See the APA templates at Writing Commons for details on how to format your paper. As a Presentation Like the paper option, your presentation should be creative and demonstrate what you have learned throughout the project. Your presentation should be 8-10 minutes in length, include visual elements (graphics, pictures, etc.), be presented using a program such as PowerPoint or Prezi, and you should record yourself giving the presentation. Consider using screen capture programs such as JING or Screencast-O-Matic. As a Speech As it is in the other two options, your speech should be creative and demonstrate what you have learned throughout the project. Your speech should be 8 to 10 minutes in length and include a typed handout. • • • The Community Organization: Clearly indicate the focus of the organization and the community needs that the organization wants to address. A brief historical background of the organization should also be included. Discuss any community partnerships that they have. Suggest additional partnerships that you feel they should have.

Writing: Title your Project Introduction: Begin with the attention-getter, tie in the background information, and end the introduction with your thesis. Body: Clearly identify the topic of each section. The topic must be a statement, not a question, and should begin with your own ideas and your own words. After identifying your topic, use quotations or paraphrase from your sources to help illustrate the point you are making (be sure to identify the author(s) and source(s)). After you have given support, spend a sentence or two explaining how the example(s) support the section topic. A compilation of your research, your literature review, your methods, (how the data was collected or generated and analyzed), and your results should be included in the body of your project. Conclusion: Restate your thesis. After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of your body sections and emphasize what is important for your audience/readers to remember. End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates what your audience/readers should do with the information you presented. Note: You will have the opportunity to revise and perfect this project, but you should do your best to make each step as complete as possible so you can receive more relevant and constructive feedback from your instructor and your peers.
