5. School:
A school is an institution
designed for the teaching
of students or (pupil)
under the direction of
teachers.
6. Mentorship:
Mentorship is a relationship in which a more
experienced or more knowledgeable person helps
to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable
person. Mentors provide a source of support
through success and failure, are a sounding board
for ideas and can act as a role model for the
mentee to emulate (Ghosh and Reio, 2013). Given
the right motivation, mentors can benefit greatly
from sharing advice and guidance with a less-
experienced person.
7. Historyof Mentorship
The origins of both the concept of mentorship, or the
professional training of a pupil by a more experienced peer,
as well as the name 'mentor' comes from Homer's classic
poem, The Odyssey. Homer's poem was written about 800
BCE and describes a time around 1200 BCE when the
character Odysseus, king of Ithaca, was preparing to leave
for Troy. During his preparations, he wanted to ensure there
was someone who could look after his son, Telemachus, in
his absence. He appointed someone to act in his place as a
teacher, advisor, and friend. This guardian's name was
Mentor.
8. Mentorship program:
Mentor or partnership programs connect people who
have specific skills and knowledge (mentors) with
individuals (protégés) who need or want the same skills
and advantages to move up in work, skill level, or school
performance. Participants in mentor programs, both
young and old, share their values and personal goals in
a mutually respectful, supportive way which leads to a
more enriched life for both. A successful mentor
program helps break down barriers and creates
opportunities for success.
12. Initiation Stage:
⁎ Initiation is the phase where the mentoring
relationship is established.
⁎ Mentors and protégés introduce themselves,
define goals and begin sharing information.
Two-way learning takes place in this phase.
⁎ It is a shorter phase of the mentoring
relationship.

14. Cultivation Stage:
♣ Cultivation begins as the mentor provides advice
and guidance to the protégée.
♣ The protégé will develop skills and gain a
broader understanding of his/her role , career path,
and professional development.
♣ The protégé works toward a goal and the mentor supports
the protégé in their efforts.
15. Separation Stages:
₰ Goals will be reached. Knowledge will be shared. Priorities and
availability may change.
₰ The time will come for the mentoring relationship to come to an
end.
₰ It may be initiated by either the mentor or the protégé, or it could
be by mutual decision.
₰ During this phase, open and honest communication is critical and
will help the individuals move through this transition stage.
₰ Two way communication and learning that was established during
the initiation phase can help support the two-way communication
that should occur during this phase.
16. Redefinition Stage:
The mentor and protégé roles will not exist
indefinitely.
Two professionals will become more like peers.
This last phase of the mentoring relationship
aims to redefine the roles of the individuals into
a new, professional relationship that may
continue indefinitely.
