Mentoring as Teaching: Best Practices in a Research Lab

Mentoring as Teaching: Best Practices in a Research Lab

Mentoring in STEM research is an essential task that yields itself to proven teaching strategies, regardless of the level of research.

This workshop explores the practice of mentoring those engaged in independent research projects in laboratory settings. Participants will practice the role of mentorship in research laboratories by creating project outlines and analyzing techniques for inducing reflection and self-learning. The primary goal of this workshop is to elucidate a framework to effectively teach others to become independent researchers.
