CPED January Challenge Friday

 Promoting Student Success Through Dissertation Mentorship: A Collaborative Dialogue Focused on Improving the Mentor-Mentee Experience

Date: Friday, January 12, 2024

Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM EST

Research consistently highlights that the student-faculty mentoring relationship is a key institutional characteristic that predicts outcomes and degree completion for doctoral students (Creighton et al. 2010; Nettles & Millet, 2006). This Challenge Friday session aims to provide an environment in which faculty can discuss and examine mentoring within Ed.D. programs. Of particular interest, this session will be augmented with preliminary findings from an ongoing study examining the nature of mentoring among people who have won or chaired a CPED Dissertation in Practice of the Year Award. Our dialogue will center primarily on the voices of session participants using guided active learning strategies to promote discussion on best practices for mentorship in conjunction with the dissertation in practice. Participants will leave our session with tangible ideas of how to boost their own mentoring and in doing so, better support student success.
