| Description |
Presenters from four settings in the
United States, United Kingdom and
Australia will outline the components of
their LSLS mentoring programs. Each
program represents a unique perspective
with regard to the type of intervention setting where mentors and mentees
practice (homes, schools, clinics,
universities), backgrounds (education,
audiology, speech-language pathology),
and the means by which mentoring
effectiveness is documented (menteebased
and child outcomes). Each group
will present topics and strategies that they
have found to be especially effective,
including reflective mentoring, mentormentee
negotiated learning, mentoring
across distances
and approaches for managing difficult
conversations. Through presentations
and group discussions, participants will
make connections and highlight steps
needed to add components to their
current mentoring practices that will
improve and/or enhance the listening
and spoken language professional
community. For more information about
mentoring, participants may want to
consider attending the Thursday morning
short course, “Mentoring Today’s LSLS.”
