Mentors

All mentors use the “Grandmother method” instead of teaching a curriculum focus on admiring the productive stuff the kids do and achieve. Admiration and acknowledgement are the key to inspiration and create a learning context that is positive.

As mentors encourage kids to ask each other for assistance and to google answers. Encourage the more advanced kids to step up to be mentors as quickly as you can. Mentoring from within ensures your CoderDojo’s sustainability.
