Mentorship Primer » (New Edition)

Mullen (University of South Florida) frames the essential philosophical, historical, and epistemological foundations of mentoring, and explores the potential value of mentor relationships in public school and college teaching programs. She describes technical mentoring, which maintains the status quo through hierarchically entrenched power structures and efficiency frameworks, and the alternative approaches of collaborative mentoring, lifelong mentoring, sociocultural learning activity, and mentoring communities.
