To our new m2.0 mentors. The objective of the checklist is to provide an objective way of measuring specific skill sets. The wiki links are written by the champs and/or experts. You need to be open to reviewing the wiki yourself as it may have been updated since the last time you reviewed it. The skills are grouped in a rough order of importance to rank 1, then rank 2 and then rank 3. Some skills may be needed in a different order at your choosing. But the idea is that Skills build on each other. The wiki links given are sometimes repeated, and sometimes entirely too much information for that Rank skill. So look at the description cell to get an idea of the objectives and keep in mind that the skill being taught is for that rank 1 or 2 level where the skill occupies. You might go back to that wiki at a later point to refine a different skill. Martin • 9 mins That's a mouthful. Looks like we might need a guide for mentors. voludu 2 8 mins Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 The idea of the checklist is give reading homework to the new editor. Not too much, and feel free to group skills like plrs, places, and parking area places together. Martin • 8 mins karlcr9911 Chad Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 When you get together with the mentee, the idea is to apply the skill to the drivable areas of that editor Martin • 8 mins Xander B Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 So while giving some one on one training, if it's not apparent they applied it already, then go over how that skill applies to their editable area. Martin • 5 mins Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 If they need to be given a mini project to apply the skill, then do so. Check on their progress the next time you meet. Testing out is fine after they show you they can actually apply their knowledge. It's not a race Martin • 5 mins Bruce SkiDooGuy WazeTerryPurdue Waze Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 Once they satisfy your scrutiny for knowing and APPLYING that skill then you can sign off yes and add the date and your username in the mentors cell if you are not the main mentor. I use a cell in the checklist to drop a perms link of the project area just to keep track. Martin • 3 mins Marc Sketchler Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 So as the new mentors review the checklist this week, consider these things as you imagine training a new editor or certifying a seasoned rank 2. Martin • 2 mins Paul Yeatts Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 The idea is that these skills are minimum expectations before being considered certified and ready for champ approval for the next step. Martin • 1 min Martin MojaveCactusMonkey_5 I can help write a wiki for mentors on best practices. I've applied this checklist myself to maybe 15 users so far.
