Mentor Implementation--First Iteration
Background
A major project objective is "to create a mentor
program, organized in tiers. This
subtask involves the first iteration of mentor implementation. The goals
are
- Acquire concrete examples of mentoring for use in future mentor training
workshops. The specific aim of this task is to create video examples
of each element of the mentoring process as this process was presented at
the workshop.
- Develop a method to "design education" so that prof and mentors
have the same understanding of the goals of the educational experience and
the attributes of quality (i.e. what are the criteria that indicate that the
goals are met).
- Determine how mentors (a) influence affective outcomes of learners, and
(b) influence learning of course content.
