Fostering Independence, Promoting Professional Development, and Articulating Your Mentoring Philosophy

This is the third and final session of the spring term series of the Mentoring Academy. This virtual session will provide an opportunity to discuss best practices in Fostering Independence (Competency #6), Promoting Professional Development (Competency #7), and Promoting Professional Development and Articulating Your Mentoring Philosophy and Plan (Competency #8). Sessions are conducted through interactive case studies.
