Internship #6: Thursday 1/14

Taking a break from projects for a moment...

Next week, you will need to interview your mentor or a particularly important coworker. In this mentor interview, you are intending to one or all of the following:


1. Learn about this person's life through their stories, experiences and the decisions they made along the way.


2. Begin to understand the path(s) that can lead to personal and professional "success."


3. Establish and deepen a professional and intellectual relationship.


Hopefully, from this experience, you might begin to have better, more or different ideas about your own life beyond high school.


In this blog post, write about what you would like to learn when you interview your mentor. Post the big ideas and main topics you want to discuss and why they are important to you.


Also, discuss when this could take place. Schedule a time and place with your mentor (or coworker) and post that info in your blog, if possible (you will need to know this by early next week). Locate and reserve a computer or other recording device to document this interview.

Goals:
Somethings that I would like to learn about my mentor is just maybe some personal background info where did she go to college, what steps did she take before she realized that she was going to be a teacher, what things did she have to give up in order to be in the position that she is in. I would also want to know what are the perks of being a teacher and maybe what are the faults of being a teacher? Another thing that I would maybe like to bring up is how the rescission and cut backs have effected her life and maybe other teachers that shes is close too and maybe get some questions about that.

Schedule:
My mentor has prep on Thursday mornings for two hours so I plan on completing my interview during that time. I plan on recording our interview on a apple computer in garage band.
