Key traits of a good mentor for my project are interest in the topic and also willing to help. Ideal skills would be someone who has knowledge about conducting interviews. This would be useful so that the mentor can help us phrase questions in a way that is not leading. We currently have the Paly psychology teachers in mind. We hope to ask for advice in how best to interview young students. We want to learn about the student’s background, interests, and feelings about their school, but we do not want the students to feel uncomfortable or at a loss for words.
