Small Group Discussion Topics

• Part 1
• Definitions and distinctions
• Mentorship is
• Distinctions between mentorship,
  teaching/learning, leading/supervising/evaluating
• Characteristics of Mentees/Mentors and the
  Influence of Context
• Goals of Mentorship mentee and mentor
• Part 2
• Strategies and process of mentorship

18
Linking mentorship to practice and wisdom

• Practice is a very complex, fundamentally social
  phenomenon
• we tend to mask complexity and simplify practice
  through evidence and task
• In every moment of practice, we must know more
  than we were taught
• Practice is an emergent phenomenon
• plans and evidence are helpful, but do not
  determine outcome or necessarily lead to the
  next step
• We must act into what is partly unknowable until
  we get there (where you find yourself might be
  surprising)
