Professor of Psychology at Arizona University developed six principles of influence. NB When he says reciprocity in the second clip, he means authority! principles of influence Used by Hurworth School in the design of their mentoring programme. TASK: Please take the A3 sheet and write definitions for each of the principles. Authority is done for you to avoid confusion. “A” should write the first definition from the video, “B” the second, “A” the third and so on so that you have time to write them. You can swap at the end of the clip. Robert Cialdini

Use your A3 sheet to: 1Complete the boxes to plan things to say and do that will ensure that the six principles are an ever-present part of your tutor room and what is said and done there. Example on next slide 2. List some of the students you work with currently (or finished this summer) think needed some form of intervention that you could have assisted with 3. Relist them, as either suitable for Hard or Soft Mentoring Now - reflection

My Students: John Smith, Sally Brown, David Johnson, Christine Davis Hard Mentoring: John Smith, Christine Davis Soft Mentoring: Sally Brown, David Johnson Find out who is revising what and when and make charts/posters that suggest it’s very widespread in the tutor group Say “Don’t worry what your friends are doing. You worry about your own revision.”

Do this: 1: 1: Do something ‘extra’ for them 2: 2: Make them feel indebted 3: 3: Cash in on their wish to reciprocate Reciprocity: Don’t do this: 1: 1: Tell them “It’s no skin off my nose if you don’t want to change.”

My Students: Hard Mentoring: Soft Mentoring:

So far, we have looked at MENTORING. Mentoring is for students who need to be told what to do and given help and support doing it. Some students (those in greatest need) require hard mentoring, which is high on checking and accountability Some students (those more capable) require soft mentoring, which allows for flexibility. Now, we look at COACHING, which is for those students who have moved beyond mentoring and into independence. Coaching helps them bring about self-improvement. Summary

First, we need to acknowledge that you may not naturally be a coach. You may naturally be more directive. Consider these “types”…

The ‘home’ you: How you are with friends and family The ‘parent’: How you are with your children (if applicable) The ‘partner’: How you are with your partner (if applicable) The ‘work’ you: How you are at work generally Different ways to packtype yourself

Example: Coaching vs Mentoring You cannot pass media or Theatre Studies because the coursework is almost complete and is a group task You can pass ICT You still need to pass Maths GCSE You got an E in ICT at AS The best thing is for you to do AS and A2 ICT and GCSE Maths resit See Mr x and ask if AS and A2 can be done simultaneously this year See Mrs Y and ask if GCSE Maths can be sat in summer and when sessions are Come back and see me with the answers What are the benefits of taking four ASs? What will you lose if you choose to move to three? Can you guarantee achieving the same outcome if you do four as if you’d done three? What does your research into your next step suggest is best? How do you see your week being different if you move to three? Student B: Has to make a decision whether to do 3 or 4 ASs. Student B: Long-term illness has led to a change in curriculum

Don’t get confused! This is a different graph. Coaching is now in the top right! Working alone, think of Post-16 students you have taught and decide who can be coached and who mentored. Try to start with the extremes. low high lowhigh Competence level of student re. improving own learning Motivation level
