Learning Intention

I will prepare to mentor juniors by learning their project workflow and practicing coaching strategies.

✅ Success Criteria

• [ ] I can outline the steps juniors will take in their GIS survey project
• [ ] I can identify common challenges juniors may face
• [ ] I can practice asking open-ended coaching questions to guide learning

🌍 Why this matters

Being a mentor isn’t about giving answers — it’s about guiding juniors to solve problems and build confidence. Preparing now means you’ll be ready to support them effectively during their GIS project.
