How to Leverage Self-Regulated Learning in Mentoring
January 22 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am EST
Self-Regulated Learning is a framework for teaching and learning that supports mentoring in the following ways:
- Teaching your mentees how to direct their own research progress makes for more independent mentees, allowing your role as mentor to shift from a more directive role to a collaborative one.
- Helping your mentees with time management, improving their motivation and engagement in the work you are doing together, and preparing them for future research opportunities with less external direction.
- Many first-time mentors find the initial planning stage to be the most challenging aspect of undergraduate mentoring. By modeling self-regulated learning strategies, you and your mentee can develop goals, strategies, and a timeline collaboratively, schedule reflection check-ins, and identify resources available to your mentee ahead of any challenges arising.
Come learn about how SLR can be leveraged to collaboratively plan goals for the semester with your mentees and support mentees in the development of key metacognitive skills! Coffee and pastries provided to attendees!
