The mentor group is modeled after the NASA Openscapes Framework approach.\n\nOctober-December 2023: NMFS Mentors Cohort!\nPlease join us: nominate yourself in this Google Form by Sept 23!\n“Is this for me?” 5-min slides\nThrough facilitation and practical training for mentoring, teaching, and coaching, Openscapes will help NMFS mentors strengthen skills and strategies to support colleagues with diverse comfort levels with software, coding, and data, while also strengthening relationships across centers/offices. Through this, mentors will identify and co-create on common resources and activities – such as code or databases for identical tasks or community developed standard practices – so there is less reinventing at each center.\nThe FY24 mentor cohort will start with a mentors-only Openscapes Champions cohort (facilated bi-weekly group meetings) during which Openscapes will guide the mentor cohort in discussing the needs and challenges for adoption of Open Science in NMFS and to develop actions to take. The facilitated meeting are vitual and twice monthly. Mentors will also collaborate asynchronously (e.g. Google Chat, GitHub). During the fall session, mentors will learn and practice coaching and mentoring skills in preparation for the winter Champions cohorts. We will also start identifying cross-center roadblocks that mentors can collaborate on throughout the next years.\n\nProposed timeline & topics\n\nDates: Twice monthly starting October 17, 2023\nTimes: 12:00 - 1:30pm PT / 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET < note revised time\nLocation: Remotely, via Google Meet\n\n\n\nMentor Calls\nMentor Calls are when we convene as a group to learn and plan.

We are learning valuable coaching skills - how to ask open-ended questions, how to listen - that make us better equipped as mentors, teachers, and leaders. When listening as a coach, we’re trying to help the other person define their problem and find their solution, outside of our expertise. This is different from mentoring, when we do have an answer within our expertise. Developing these coach listening skills, what questions to ask, and when to use mentoring vs coaching skills, is the focus of our sessions; we are practicing coaching skills together to tackle common challenges and skill-build together.

-Starting in 2021, we have been growing an informal cross-NMFS mentor community; each science center and regional office participating in the Openscapes cohorts has 1-4 mentors that help organize the local cohorts, spearhead communication with with their local leadership, act as a point-person for interested local staff, help identify local needs, and help communicate, or potentially organize, teaching resources for their local staff. Openscapes organizes training and co-working sessions for the mentor group, so that we can all learn from each others experiences and learn new skills together.

 The FY24 mentor cohort will start with a mentors-only Openscapes Champions cohort (facilated bi-weekly group meetings) during which Openscapes will guide the mentor cohort in discussing the needs and challenges for adoption of Open Science in NMFS and to develop actions to take. The facilitated meeting are vitual and twice monthly. Mentors will also collaborate asynchronously (e.g. Google Chat, GitHub). During the fall session, mentors will learn and practice coaching and mentoring skills in preparation for the winter Champions cohorts. We will also start identifying cross-center roadblocks that mentors can collaborate on throughout the next years.

 ### January-June 2023
 
 From January-May through our bi-weekly meetings we are learning coaching skills with Tara Robertson, a DEI consultant and leadership coach who has [worked with Openscapes since 2021](https://www.openscapes.org/blog/2021/05/27/tara-robertson/). We are learning valuable coaching skills - how to ask open-ended questions, how to listen - that make us better equipped as mentors, teachers, and leaders. When listening as a coach, we're trying to help the other person define their problem and find their solution, outside of our expertise. This is different from mentoring, when we do have an answer within our expertise. Developing these coach listening skills, what questions to ask, and when to use mentoring vs coaching skills, is the focus of our sessions; we are practicing coaching skills together to tackle common challenges and skill-build together.

+We have five Mentor Calls as a full community. Here we detail the skills
+and practices Mentors experienced and experimented with in each Call.

+How might you reuse these? Moving from "open science from something I do
+alone" to "open science is something I support in others".

+**What does it mean to be a mentor? What does Open Science at NMFS
+mean?**
+
+-   **Speaking up/sharing about yourself for 4 minutes** - a challenge
+    for some to take up that space, a challenge for others to limit to
+    that space.
+
+-   **Keeping on time** - as a speaker and as a timekeeper
+
+-   **Listening: giving space/silence. Not jumping in** - get
+    comfortable with discomfort
+
+-   **Live contributing to collaborative google doc** - hear from more
+    voices than we could only out loud, both time-wise and due to power
+    structures
+
+-   **Learned emoji shortcut** - not frivolous; a way to connect, side
+    conversations and encouragement to build relationships
