Context

The same information should reach to the parents as well. To facilitate this objective, the institute has taken a step of mentoring through home visit.

Practice

The institute practices the Mentoring through Home Visit since 2018. In this Home Visit – Mentorship practice, teacher plays a role of ‘Mentor’ whereas student act as a ‘Mentee’. At the beginning of academic year every Mentor is allotted 10 mentees. In the progression of the semester Mentorship meetings are conducted to assess the strength and need of the mentees. Accordingly home visits are organised with the due information. This strategy integrates the academic and social emotions of educators, students and their families. It creates an equal playing field, recognizing the educators and family as jointly contributing to the education of the student. In this deliberation with the parents quality inputs are recorded by the mentors, and are incorporated while designing add-on courses, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. This practice develops trust and dedicated relationship with students and parents for their go-getter-ness.
