Summary:
On Being a Mentor is the definitive guide to the art and science of engaging students and faculty in effective
mentoring
relationships in all academic disciplines. Written with pithy clarity and rooted in the latest research on developmental relationships in higher educational settings, this essential primer reviews the strategies, guidelines, and best practices for those who want to excel as mentors. Evidence-based advice on the rules of engagement for
mentoring
, mentor functions, qualities of good mentors, and methods for forming and managing these relationships are provided. Summaries of mentorship relationship phases and guidance for adhering to ethical principles are reviewed along with guidance about
mentoring
specific populations and those who differ from the mentor in terms of sex and race. Advice about managing problem mentorships, selecting and training mentors, and measuring mentorship outcomes and recommendations for department chairs and deans on how to foster a culture of excellent
mentoring
in an academic community is provided. Chalk full of illustrative case-vignettes, this book is the ideal training tool for
mentoring
workshops. Highlights of the new edition include: Introduces a new model for conceptualizing
mentoring
relationships in the context of the various relationships professors typically develop with students and faculty (ch. 2). Provides guidance for creating a successful
mentoring
culture and structure within a department or institution (ch. 16). Now includes questions for reflection and discussion and recommended readings at the end of each chapter for those who wish to delve deeper into the content. Best Practices sections highlight the key takeaway messages. The latest research on
mentoring

education

mentoring
in academia and distinguishes
mentoring
from other types of relationships. The nuts and bolts of good
mentoring
from the qualities of those who succeed as mentors to the common behaviors of outstanding mentors are the focus of Part II. Guidance in establishing mentorships with students and faculty, the common phases of mentorship, and the ethical principles governing the
mentoring
enterprise is also provided. Part III addresses the unique issues and answers to successfully
mentoring
undergraduates, graduate students, and junior faculty members and considers skills required of faculty who mentor across gender and race. Part IV addresses management of dysfunctional mentorships and the documentation of mentorship outcomes. The book concludes with a chapter designed to encourage academic leaders to make high quality mentorship a salient part of the culture in their institutions. Ideal for faculty or career development seminars and teaching and learning centers in colleges and universities, this practical primer is appreciated by professors, department chairs, deans, and graduate students in colleges, universities, and professional schools in all academic fields including the social and behavioral sciences,
