Then come to a consensus on a suggestion statement for their domain and write it on the second sheet. Display the sheets by domains. Have each domain group share their information and ask if anyone from another group wants to add anything. 4. For scoring, have each group look at the scores for one criterion at a time.

20 minutes |
Active Listening |
At the chart tablet, ask participants to brainstorm ways we communicate. List as they share. Continue for about one minute. Almost always, they will fail to name listening as a form of communication. Discuss the importance of active listening in the mentoring relationship. Divide the participants into groups of
two. Have them decide which will be
the listener, and which will be the talker. Give them one minute and a topic (What you
will do this weekend, your favorite vacation, etc.) At the end of one minute, have participants
describe what they noticed the listener do that was a sign of his/her
listening. List on chart paper as the
group share. Now have participants
switch roles and tell the listener do whatever he/she can to show
he/she is NOT listening. At the end of
one minute, have the group share out again.
Discuss those characteristics of active listening. Many will want to add “Asking questions”
to the list. However, when you are
actively listening you do not ask questions. To ask questions means you are formulating
those questions instead of focusing all of your attention on the
listener. Share the
transparency from pages 6-7 of Arkansas Mentoring Model (or from the Power
Point) |
