Peer Mentors are expected to work collaboratively to develop strategic, observable, and measurable (SMART) goals to support mentees in the development of effective and sustainable communicative teaching practices. Mentor/Mentee pairs will establish personalized goals at three intervals during the year-long fellowship and will evaluate and reflect upon their success at the end of each interval.

Peer Mentors are asked to stay in regular communication with each other and document the form and frequency of their contact. Specifically, mentors and mentees should log at least one synchronous contact (virtual or in-person) each month. In addition, virtual meetings will be held periodically for all program participants to encourage deeper connections, facilitate a broader exchange of ideas and experiences, and further orient members to program expectations.

While most interactions throughout the program can be conducted virtually, mentors and mentees are expected to attend the annual FLAG/SCOLT in-person conference to engage in program-specific session(s). Registration for the FLAG/SCOLT conference will be covered as part of the program, but it is the participants' responsibility to secure professional leave day(s).

The Georgia World Language Peer Mentoring Program expects a year-long commitment from both mentors and mentees. Mentees that have successfully engaged a year of mentorship, however, will have the opportunity to extend their participation an additional year if desired to be partnered with an additional mentor.
