Having positive role models and mentors can make an important difference in whether individuals develop optimally and reach their full potential. First, evaluate the role models and mentors who have played an important part in your life. Second, think about the type of role model you want to be for your students. Third, give some thought to how you will incorporate other models and mentors in your students’ lives. Fourth, explore who your education mentor might be.

My Models and Mentors
List the most important role models and mentors in your life. Then describe what their positive modeling and mentoring have meant to your development.

Role Models and Mentors	Their Contributions
Parents	My Attitude toward to learn, be serious, fear God
Kuya Paul	Improve a lot my music knowledge and playing
Ms.Maria	Classroom management
Ms.Sankari	The hunger for deep studies and passion to learning
Ms.Davis	Putting heart in the teaching

The type of role model I want to be for others (other learners)
Describe which characteristics and behaviors you believe are the most important for you to model for your students.

Optimism – to look on the positive

Persistence – to keep working even little by little

Kindness – being meek in the words and actions of humility

Musicality – to encourage them love music

Open mindedness – taking time to give time understand and listen to people

How I will incorporate models and mentors in my profession (as an educator)
Describe a systematic plan for bringing models and mentors into your students’ lives in one or more domain(s) you plan to teach, such as math, English, science, music, and so on.

 I give opportunity to well performing students once they are done with the assigned task to help those who are still working or practicing in return, they will get more stars or additional recognition to keep them motivated caring for other’s learning. Example student who play well in xylophone helps the other student or by buddy system pairing them to those who need help as we teachers sometimes don’t have enough time to go one by one to all students. 

Who will be my education mentor? What would my ideal education mentor be like?
Do you have someone in mind who might serve as an education mentor when you become a teacher? If so, describe the person.

What would your ideal education mentor be like?

In our school our mentors are our coordinator she is well experienced in IB program, she help to meet every teacher and help them make the lesson plan and student engagement as we are new in the IB program. My ideal education mentor would be someone who is approachable, a role model and hard working.
