Frequently Asked Questions about E-Mentoring

All mentoring is carried out virtually on an internal Intranet system unique to icouldbe.org. To keep the e-mentoring relationship protected and secure, mentors and mentees remain anonymous and never share their last names, email addresses, telephone numbers or any other identifying details. Communications are filtered and monitored to ensure our members stay protected.

• As a Year-Long Mentor, you work your mentees for the duration of the school year as they progress through the icouldbe.org curriculum, communicating with them using icouldbe.org’s email system and discussion boards.
• As a spontaneous mentor, you answer ad hoc questions and carry on impromptu conversations with other mentees. Unlike Year-Long Mentors, spontaneous mentors are not required to work with the mentee on his or her curricular activities.

Developing a relationship with your mentees takes time, so plan to spend at least one hour per week reviewing your mentees’ activities and giving them in-depth feedback. It takes time to develop a relationship with your mentee, so we ask that you make an initial commitment of one school year. Because e-mentoring is asynchronous and virtual, you can access our site whenever is most convenient for you.

The safety of the icouldbe.org community is our top priority and we take the protection of our students extremely seriously. The personal information we request during the registration will be used for a series of background checks; it is not shared with any unnecessary third party. It is important that all information on your registration is filled out accurately and completely. Click here [link] to get started.

icouldbe.org provides four consecutive online training modules to help you get started as an e-mentor. The brief modules will walk you through how to navigate the site, communicate with your mentees, and how to best use icouldbe.org’s award-winning system and customized curriculum to guide and support your students.
