This session addresses a mentoring model developed for new IRW instructors. Research on mentees’ perceptions of the model will be presented alongside the structure of the model to give an idea of the model’s efficacy and how it was built.
The mentoring model will be described as well as the basis for its inception. Then, the research on mentees’ experiences will be explored, giving a picture of their perception of the model and its efficacy in assisting new IRW instructors. Audience members will be invited to share how IRW mentoring is implemented at their institutions and consider how our model might be adapted to suit their needs.
