Student Support Checklist¶

You can print this page to make sure you check off your tasks for supporting your students.

The most important thing is to make sure your student understands that you care for them and their learning progress!

Setup Support¶

• [] Read their background information
• [] Scheduled a one-time orientation call
• [] Set up a fixed weekly meeting time calendar event with Zoom
• [] Clarified that the meeting time should be as firm as possible since re-scheduling might not be possible.
• [] Clarified that you're there to help them, and also that it's their own effort that makes or breaks their learning progress.

Recurring Support¶

• Check in with them via chat frequently
• Any questions?
• Any interesting links you found that you can share with them?
• Keep a document with notes on their wishes, struggles, and info on their progress and process in general
• Conduct weekly 1-on-1 video chat sessions
• Discuss any questions that students have
• Together check up on the lab/project code they wrote and give them actionable feedback
• Help them create a schedule and stay accountable
• Write and submit a support log in the mentor portal

These are the required tasks when you mentor for CodingNomads students. Of course, we welcome any additional involvement - here are some thoughts and suggestions.
