THE MENTOR/PROTÉGÉ MATCH COMMITTEE

This committee will be responsible for determining the most ideal possible match of mentor to protégé. This same committee will serve as the appeal committee as well. The committee will consist of the following personnel:

1. building administrator (1)

2. members of the mentor committee (3)

3. mentor trainers (2)

4. department chair of potential protégé and/or mentor (in an advisory capacity)

Recommendations:

1. Mentoring committee does not need to be the same as the match committee.

2. In the case that the two committees are not the same, and t o maintain a communication network, there should be some overlap of the membership of the two committees.

3. Match committee should be the same as the building grievance committee.
