Mentorships offer many benefits to gifted learners. They can support students’ social and emotional needs, model desired scholarly behaviors, allow opportunities for in-depth study in students’ areas of interest, and expose them to various career paths.
In this lesson, Dr. Colleen Boyle will help you establish successful mentorships for your gifted learners. You will:
- Explore various types of mentorship that can be established with gifted learners.
- Learn how to match gifted learners to a specific type of mentorship based on their individual needs, and discover how to establish a framework to guide the mentor-mentee relationship.
- Develop a concrete idea of how you can use mentorships to support your gifted learners, regardless of their grade.
