Mentoring is the process where a more experienced person (the ''mentor'') imparts knowledge and skill to one who is less experienced (the protege, or in the terms of Waze Formal Mentoring programs, the ''mentee'').
Il Mentoring è il processo in cui un editor con più esperienza (il ''mentor'') impartisce le proprie abilità e conoscenza a qualcuno che ne ha meno (lo studente, o come definito dal programmi di Mentoring formale di Waze, il ''mentee'').


Typically a Mentor is much more experienced than a Mentee. In some cases a Mentor may have less general experience, but significant specialty knowledge in one or more topics. For instance, such a Mentor may know a lot about a regional issue, city, or state, or type of road system.

Il Mentoring è un ottimo metodo per imparare da chi ha più esperienza o per trasmettere la propria conoscenza agli altri, e questa interazione non fa che contribuire a fare crescere la comunità di Waze.

Panoramica

Il Mentoring è il processo in cui un editor con più esperienza (il mentor) impartisce le proprie abilità e conoscenza a qualcuno che ne ha meno (lo studente, o come definito dal programmi di Mentoring formale di Waze, il mentee).

Typically a Mentor is much more experienced than a Mentee. In some cases a Mentor may have less general experience, but significant specialty knowledge in one or more topics. For instance, such a Mentor may know a lot about a regional issue, city, or state, or type of road system. There are two main forms of mentoring in Waze; Formal Mentoring, and Informal Mentoring. One is not intended to replace the other, but instead they are designed to coexist. Each form has its' own benefits and disadvantages which will be discussed below.

Mentoring formale

Formal Mentoring is a structured program, where a specific officially approved Waze Mentor and a Mentee are brought together, with a responsibility to accomplish a specific goal. The goal will be a defined objective, duration, and under a common set of rules, with the purpose to better some aspect of their Waze interaction. The objective may be building a particular skill over time, learning to participate in a certain aspect of the Waze community, learning how a portion of the Waze technology works, or mastering the skills required to increase the Mentees' editing rank.


Formal Mentoring can accelerate advancement of editor rank and/or roles while maintaining quality of editing and Waze Community interaction.


A Formal Mentoring arrangement will define the methods of communication, the frequency, and their intensity, and will include a definable objective, and normally a target date for completion.


Formal mentoring is still in a trial phase, and is currently only available in certain countries,

For more details on Formal Mentoring, see Mentoring/Formal.

Mentoring informale

Most of the mentoring on Waze takes place informally, without structure. Informal Mentoring goes on all the time when one Wazer asks a question of another and when one Wazer helps another. This happens any time two editors with different experience levels in some aspect of editing get together to help the Mentee better understand that aspect, and how to implement that knowledge.


We encourage you to engage in such interaction regularly and have some ideas for you here. Examples include the Waze Forum, WME Chat, dialog through Private Messages, and much more. Becoming a regular Informal Mentor is a great way to see if you're good at teaching various editing skills, and might be interested in Formal Mentoring.


Informal Mentoring usually either has no goal beyond the immediate issue at hand, or it may be a repeated interaction without an overarching defined goal guiding all of those interactions. Neither party has any formal responsibility to the other.

For more details on Informal Mentoring, see Mentoring/Informal.
