Test: What is a Super Mentor?
Super Mentors are the backbone and leadership circle of the Webmaker community. Yet, we currently don't have formal support structures nor pathways describing what Super Mentors do and how to become one.
We'd like to have a community consultation about Webmaker Super Mentors. In particular, we'll look at:
- the skills and experience that make a good Super Mentor (criteria)
- how one demonstrates they are a Super Mentor (evidence)
- the organizational and peer support needed to active, train and celebrate Super Mentors
Prompt
- Remix this make to explain what you think a Super Mentor is and does.
- Review your make with this document that describes Super Mentors. Where does your version align or diverge? Why?
- Share your make and feedback on the Webmaker community call and/or on the mailing lists and blogs.
Placeholder
- Talk about how people maintain their Super Mentor status
- Nominate a Super Mentor
To do this, we invite close collaborators to review this etherpad and leave comments.
