Interaction Guidelines and Expectations

Interaction Guidelines and Expectations

Introduction

Let's establish some ground rules for our Near Peer Mentoring Circles to ensure a productive and supportive environment for everyone.

No Rescues

Remember, the goal of these circles is to empower you to find your own solutions. We're here to support and coach you, not provide answers. Focus on providing feedback and asking questions that encourage reflection and self-discovery.

Safe Space

This circle is a confidential and supportive space. Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and feedback without fear of judgment. Let's create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and respected.

Accountability

As a member, you're committed to being on time, participating actively, and updating on your previous contracts. This ensures that everyone benefits from the group.

No Interruptions

When someone is speaking, give them your full attention. Avoid interrupting or talking over others. This shows respect and keeps the discussion focused.

Attendance and Active Participation

Regular attendance and active participation are essential for the success of our circle. Make a commitment to be present and contribute meaningfully to the discussions.

By following these guidelines, we can create a positive and productive atmosphere for everyone. Let's work together to make the most of our Near Peer Mentoring Circle!
