    Mentors, not Professors
George Wythe built his Depth Phase students' learning around the  classics, but each student had a personalized study program designed to fit his individual goals.
 
 
 
Someone who approaches twenty students with identical curriculum, methodology, goals and plans is not acting as a mentor. The mentor helps each student identify where he or she is, and then says, "Okay, let's develop a program for you. What do you want to become? What do you want to create? What do you want to learn?" Then he helps the student develop a personal plan to achieve it.
 
You can't train leaders on a conveyor belt; if you want to teach students how to think, their studies must be personalized

 
 
See Oliver's new book on mentoring, co-authored by Tiffany Earl: The Student Whisperer.
