✍🏻Mentors Tasks & Responsibilities

As a mentor in our program, you'll play a crucial role in facilitating flipped learning classrooms!
What is a flipped classroom?
You may have encountered the traditional classroom before, where we go to class to listen to teacher’s explanation, then after class, we’ll complete the homework given by our teacher. The flipped classroom, as the name suggest, “flip” this method. Students are introduced to key concepts before class started and refine the learning in the form of active learning process in the classroom.

Starting from day 0, where we’ll get to know each other and share the final project to the rookies. We’ll tackle each day to introduce the rookies to STEM and inspire them!
One lesson a day keeps the confusion away! Day one, we'll dive into lesson one; day two, we're on to lesson two, and so on. 🗓️
The fifth day is super special! 🌟 No lessons that day—instead, it's Demo Day! A whole day dedicated to our rookies showcasing their final projects. 🎤🚀

👉 Resource & Templates

To make your mentoring journey easier, we have compiled a mentor framework packed with resources. Feel free to use these resources as you go!

🙌🏻 Resources

📝 Lesson Plan

💡
Think of a lesson plan as your trusty guide for a successful flipped classroom experience. It ensures you have all the tools and activities needed to engage your rookies and help them master the concepts. In this template, you are to define the lesson plan for the activity session of day 1 - day 5 of the program.
⚠️ Read Lesson Plan Rules & Guidelines here
  1. A lesson plan is not a rundown
  1. In the left side, you have the rundown for that day. You should not change the rundown, but you have to fill the PIC that will lead each session.
  1. In the right side, you have the lesson plan. Please refer to the Lesson Plan Rules for guidelines & rules to write the lesson plan
  1. A good lesson plan tells you the topic, and learning objectives, and explains the activities in detail. Not just the “problem” but also “how” you want the rookies to solve the problem. Is it through guided discussion? Or live coding/share screen to present something?
  1. The topic for each day = the lesson that will be learnt in that day. You may not add a new topic unless the Gen G team permits you to do so
  1. The learning objective should capture “what roookies can do after doing the activities”. Please make it a SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Based) For example:
    1. rookies can explain the steps in the design thinking framework
    2. rookies can solve a coding problem that involves the use of if/else
  1. Be as detailed as possible when describing the activities, so that your fellow mentors can understand the activity as much as you do!
  1. The resource should be filled with
    1. tools & stationery (for offline activity)
    2. link to deck/figjam/jamboard/anything else that you’ll give/show to the rookies on d-day
  1. You may create more than 1 activity for 1 mini-project session
  1. if you’re confused, read the example provided in the orientation day lesson plan below 😉
