The Italian Model 1998
In Italy, the phenomenon of truancy and premature school leaving, as well as careers advice were considered as being emerging problems and
not easy to resolve either.
So, in collaboration with the CNR (National Research Council) and the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, a first experiment of the method was
undertaken in Italy.

I Moment Orientation towards the activities of
Mentors
Preliminary meeting for volunteers to understand the task to be undertaken:
A) Commitment required (two hours a week);B) The figure of the Mentor;C) The figure of the Mentee;D) Collection of information from each volunteer to be used in the assignment of the adolescent from the school (Mentee);E) Simulations of difficulties which may be met;F) Type of intervention to be made with the Mentee assigned
II MomentEvery week
Large group – Identification of the themes to be treated. The Mentor receives suggestions from the Project Co-ordinator and the Scholastic Coordinator which are helpful in carrying out the task to the advantage of the Mentee.
One to One – the Mentor is under the constant observation of the Project Co-ordinator while he examines the topic in depth with the Mentee.
Monitoring – The Programme Development Co-ordinator suggests which strategies the Mentor should adopt in order to improve the relationship between the parties...
III MomentAt the end of every month
Supervision – the Programme Development Co-ordinator has the task of summarizing work carried out by the Mentors during the month. The meeting is held in the presence of the Scholastic Co-ordinator.
Formation of the Group The Programme Development Co-ordinator leads the group of Mentors in the presence of the Scholastic Co-ordinator, and helps, with logic of the self- help groups to suggest possible ways of overcoming the difficulties with the Mentees.
The Mentors are trained and monitored on a weekly basis and supervised monthly by the Programme Development Co-ordinator (teacher) in collaboration with a teacher from the school who has the role of School Co-ordinator for the Training Model

General Plan of the Mentee learning ProcessModel “Mentoring USA/Italia Onlus”
TRAFFIC LIGHTSExample of how the Mentor helps the Mentee to face a situation
With negative connotations (E.g. argument between friends)
Reflections every time the Mentee answers the questions of each phase, the Mentor rather than suggest what to do, refers the Mentee the memory of a similar situation already experienced
mentee Mentor
II Phase
III Phase
I Phase
Position I – the Mentee is helped by the Mentor to express the previous negative experience
Position YOU – the Mentee is helped by the Mentor to identify himself in the situation experienced by the other person, (e.g. victim or assailant )
Position OTHER the Mentee is helped by the Mentor to make a third person (imaginary or real, but not present) offer possible solutions for resolving the conflict: the adolescent does not say; it is the Other-Self who says.
I
YOU
OTHER
The model enables the Mentee to reflect on his own experiences and to imagine possible solution/solutions which come from himself (not suggested by the Mentor but guided by him). Each intervention remains open and IT is not asked TO the Mentee TO give account: he is free to judge for himself since the traffic lights are A simple a breathing space and not a practical solution. The model is applied also in situations with positive connotations.

There are precise criteria for identifying the student profile which best reflects the role of mentor. These aspects emerge from three assessment gauges:
a) Assessment of qualifications (from exams results and average marks to work experience and scholarships.);
b) The completion of a questionnaire ;c) The motivation interview
In particular both Senior and Junior mentors are assessed through the questionnaire and the interview for the aspects which regard abilities, capacities, qualities and attitudes.
