RT-103 mentoring
Interesting concept: I personally believe that mentoring is only necessary where students are not doing well on their own and require additional assistance, the instructor is in a position to recognize this situation developing and has an obligation to discretely meet with the student's and discuss "what's going on here"?-so to speak. is there something extra curriculer that's bothering the student that may be affecting their performance?. and what can the instructor do to assist in correcting the problem and/or would the student make time and be interested mentoring to correct the situation?.
Raymond,
Mentoring is for everyone. Yes, the instructor is the person most likely able to recognize the student in need of mentoring.

We offer an formal and informal mentoring system. I do recognize students in the classroom who immediately need mentoring from an upper classmate. This works well and motivates our new students, encouragement needed for continuing retention on our campus.
