Continuing Education Units (CEU)
AAAE recognizes the time necessary to prepare a candidate for the Final Interview; therefore, twelve (12) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be applied to the Mentor’s CEU balance for each candidate that he/she assists.
The Role of the Mentor
The role of the Mentor is to help prepare the candidate for the Final Interview. What exactly does this mean? And, just as important, what does it not mean?
What is the Role of the Accreditation Mentor?
- Guide the candidate through the Final Interview Process
- Help the candidate to identify the best study method; one that works best for the candidate
- Provide the candidate a framework for studying
- Provide the candidate with information about how to present themselves (demeanor, appearance, etc.)
- Schedule time to talk on a regular basis to ensure they are preparing for the Final Interview
- Question the candidate on Final Interview topic areas
- Provide feedback to the candidate on the knowledge shared during the discussion
- Encourage, encourage, encourage
- Regularly apprise the candidate’s Regional Examiner of the candidate’s progress
- Make the final recommendation to the Regional BOE representative on moving forward with the Final Interview
What is NOT the role of the Accreditation Mentor?
- Study for the individual
- Feed the individual the answers to the questions
