How can I design an effective peer mentoring program?

To design an effective peer mentoring program, start by defining clear goals and objectives. What do you want to achieve?

I want to improve student engagement and support.

Great! Next, identify potential mentors and mentees. Consider their skills, interests, and availability. How will you match them?

I think pairing them based on similar interests would work best.

That sounds like a solid approach! Also, think about how you'll train mentors and provide ongoing support. Have you considered that?

Not yet, what should I include in the training?

Include communication skills, goal setting, and conflict resolution. Regular check-ins can also help maintain engagement.
