Description
Mentoring graduate students at the doctoral or master’s level represents a substantial academic duty. Supervisors, as well as students, have certain expectations, obligations, and responsibilities. However, it is the supervisor who imparts stimulating, meaningful, and challenging learning experiences. While the fundamentals and guidelines of engagement and communication with graduate students are generally simple (sometimes dubbed as common sense), certain teacher-disciple principles and pedagogies can significantly enhance student engagement and foster innovation. The main question here is: What are those principles and how does their practice allow for mutual growth of mentors and mentees? Albeit some of these principles are common practice, others require thoughtful reflection and consideration. This panel discussion will present these principles for a mutually beneficial outcome for both supervisors and graduate students.
Resources
Come prepared with your thoughts on the qualities of an ideal graduate mentor. Document your experience as a mentee and reflect how it has influenced your transition into a mentor role. Sharing your dos and don’ts as a current or soon to be mentor will significantly enrich the ongoing panel discussion.
