The goal in mentoring is to help students evolve as learners to the point of being in charge of their own learning—in other words, to help them become “self-growers.” Society increasingly expects educators not simply to foster the success of individuals as students, but also to help them succeed in their careers and in life. This workshop is designed to help educators understand the unique role of mentoring in the learning process. Participants will also consider the evolution of an educator through a hierarchy of performance levels, the highest level being that of a mentor. This introductory workshop helps individuals consider the mentor’s attributes, skills, and “way of being,” and to self-assess their own development as it relates to this role.
