Scenarios - Dimensions of Mentoring by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent Which of the Areas of Well being below do you have conversations with your mentees? Are there any areas in which you have never discussed with a mentee? Explain why. Are some areas more a struggle to have a conversation? What parts of your own identity might make it hard for you to have these conversations? en-us 2023-03-14 17:58:54 UTC 2025-02-16 15:56:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Was important when I was lacking the financial stability in my life https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529531823 2023-03-23 22:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529531823 How are you "feeling"? https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529537774 Trying to ask my mentees how they're "feeling" this week as opposed to the generic "how are you doing." Usually better responses!]]> 2023-03-23 22:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529537774 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538105 Reminding students and mentees that they have put in a lot of work intellectually and they also need to eat and sleep in order to be their best (not just exercise as physical wellness)]]> 2023-03-23 22:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538105 Haven't discussed this https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538473 I haven't discussed environmental wellness with my students or mentees.]]> 2023-03-23 22:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538473 we think this is quite tied to financial well-being (e.g. healthcare, housing, food, etc.) https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538492 2023-03-23 22:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538492 Stress + Sleep https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538518 Asking students about their workload, if they're feeling stressed and how that impacts them physically. If they're sleeping and how that's impacting their studying and happiness]]> 2023-03-23 22:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529538518 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539005 Trying to adapt our department policies for accessing online homework systems so everyone can start the homework on the first day (trying to remove financial barriers to success)]]> 2023-03-23 22:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539005 With my mentee's I do "mental health checks" everytime we meet to ensure students are doing "well" or at least trying to help them by giving them someone to talk to. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539022 2023-03-23 22:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539022 Feels hard to ask https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539121 Feels hard to bring up, esp when I have a lot of financial privilege myself. What's the context where we can tactfully ask about this?]]> 2023-03-23 22:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539121 I have not included this aspect in conversations with mentees and would feel uncomfortable to do so in the future. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539595 2023-03-23 22:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539595 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539659 I think this is very important to students, and while I may not personally mentor them on this, I don't want to forget that how they are learning to navigate social interactions is an important part of their identity]]> 2023-03-23 22:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539659 we talked a lot about social capital in our group. It's something students need and may not know they need. We talked about ways a mentor can help increase students' social capital https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539681 e.g., bring your students to conferences

]]> 2023-03-23 22:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539681 I generally avoid this area, unless my mentee broaches it. Same with politics. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539708 2023-03-23 22:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539708 we talked about this as possibly meaning: "a feeling that your life or work has a higher purpose" https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539953 and find this somewhat important

]]> 2023-03-23 22:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529539953 is this the same as intellectual wellbeing? https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540248 we also thought of this as intellectual fullfilment]]> 2023-03-23 23:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540248 Opening line for this topic https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540360 What are some opening sentences for a conversation on this?]]> 2023-03-23 23:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540360 This area is important when sickness/diseases are affecting the student. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540509 2023-03-23 23:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540509 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540516 Building a community/helping them build a community where they feel that they belong and are a successful member of that community ]]> 2023-03-23 23:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529540516 Care & Concern Committee https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529541298 We have a care & concern committee that we can refer students to when they are having financial hardships (like housing or food instability). ]]> 2023-03-23 23:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529541298 Primary task with advisees https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529541774 I think this is one of my primary tasks when I chat with undergraduate students. I want to check they are being fulfilled in an intellectual way in college.]]> 2023-03-23 23:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529541774 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529543039 I want my students to feel a sense of purpose in their desired career path. I want to help them find a course of study to help them accomplish their career goals and find value in the work they will do.]]> 2023-03-23 23:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529543039 I'm not sure where this falls, but we talked about the importance of doing things outside of academia (organizing, rowing, etc.). Excelling at something outside of work gives you a sense of identity outside of your work, and also builds resilience. It also builds an alternate network of social capital that can sometimes (coincidentally!) overlap with your professional network. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529543566 2023-03-23 23:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529543566 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545157 I really struggle to support students when they share with me that they are experiencing mental health issues when I myself am struggling with my mental illnesses. When my depression and/or eating disorder are making it difficult for me to function, I don't have as much capacity to support my students, and feel like I'm failing them.]]> 2023-03-23 23:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545157 we weren't totally sure what this meant.... https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545171 Is this things like service duties?
Is this institutional support or climate?
Is this infrastructure and financial support?]]> 2023-03-23 23:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545171 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545560 I struggle with my own occupational interests and so navigating conversations with mentees related to career development is hard... because I feel like I may be bringing in my own issues/biases to the conversation in this domain.]]> 2023-03-23 23:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529545560 I believe Environmental well being can reflect the artibutes of nature that I can pull from its resources for content and relational experiences, However it can also be the atmosphere that is created by the existing environment through the mentoring experience. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529550461 2023-03-23 23:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529550461 help students obtain funding for *every* conference you suggest they attend. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529554894 2023-03-23 23:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/CIME_DimensionsofMent/wish/2529554894
