Determining whether mentees understand core concepts about the research they are doing is critical in a productive mentoring relationship—though this is surprisingly difficult to do. Developing strategies to assess how well mentees understand the purpose of their project, underlying principles, and the context of their work is an important part of becoming an effective mentor. Moreover, it is important for mentors to be able to identify the causes for confusion and develop strategies to address misunderstandings.Ìý

This training will help you define what independence looks like and develop skills to foster independence so you can become an effective mentor.Ìý
