KGSMentor Scheme And Teaching Ladder

    Keywords: Online Go

Both the mentoring program started by JadeGarden and the Teaching Ladder Room started by Dr. Straw are both great ideas that seem to echo each other. I want to discuss on this page ways to combine the two ideas with the many common features into one. Maybe we can nip a few problems in the bud by combining the two as well.

The way i see it the teaching ladder has these properties:

The mentor program:

My suggestion would to be for the Teaching Ladder to adopt the mentoring program. Also for people wanting to find a teacher or student to use the Teaching Ladder room to do so, and to play teaching games within that room. Pretty much using the Teaching Ladder Room as the default mentoring room. The main reason I say this is because 1) the mentoring program can be applied to any room. 2) The choice of the Teaching Ladder room gives people a common place to go. If someone is looking for lessons they can go to(or be told to go to) the Teaching Ladder room. This also allows teachers to gain the advantage of having more teaching games in the Teaching Ladder Room and therefore have a chance to win the contest there.

A problem I see with the mentoring program so far is that teachers in waiting are not getting paired with students in waiting. This is probably because they put their name on the list and then forget. So someone is going to have to keep up on this thing.

Alright I'm done. I would like to hear people's thoughts on this matter.
