Three Theories of Mentoring
Critical Mentoring (Stoller)
frameworks of traditional mentoring
"providing support" - "positive social support" (54): atta' person; connecting with counseling center; space to vent
limitation: does this encourage dependence/encourage a model of mentorship about giving out;
how are we encouraging this sense of student agency: "part of this has to come from you, student"
relies on mentors having a full and encyclopedic knowledge of campus resources; sets up mentors to be ALL KNOWING (this isn't real)
"increasing involvement" (53): "encouraging mentees to get involved in a wide variety of traditional academic activities, such as increasing academic 'time n task' activities like increased studying, as well as participation in undergraduate research opportunities" (53)
good starting point to get new to college students oriented
given the transition of high school to college workloads, this model can be a little overwhelming
misses the social/residential aspects
"facilitating integration": students' overall sense of belonging in campus culture, as evidenced by things like their willingness to participate in extracurricular activities ..." (53-4)
changing behavior and identity (long and short term) to "fit" into the campus climate
assumes the institution is right and has the best practices/ideas/cultures that the student needs to adopt to "succeed"
frameworks of critical mentoring
mutual learning: "Learning is neither a process of value-neutral knowledge transmission (top-down) nor is it a process of passing through universal development stages (bottom up)." (55).
"Critical agency": a student going to a PWI/elite and being who they are fully, not assimilating, defining success on their own terms;
contextualizing the resource, but encouraging mentees to take advantage of that; what might it mean to
contextualizing the INSTITUTIONAL context
YOU DO DESERVE TO BE HERE!
limitations: the binary is too easy; is the "critical" TOO critical (there's nothing good about CC)
"Cohort" Mentoring
Launch: two years long, academic and activities;
networks people have
CC has students from VERY networked backgrounds
the social capital matters
CC Bridge Mentoring
