Abstract

Mentoring is key to ensure success of the high impact practice of undergraduate-led research and scholarly activities; however, most faculty and staff members are not trained in the best practices of mentoring undergraduate students. The National Institutes of Health-funded Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (NIH BUILD) Initiative at California State University Long Beach is developing an online mentor training program with a coordinated discussion group to refine mentoring skills across faculty and staff from all disciplines. Faculty and staff members participated in two pilots of the Advancing Inclusive Mentoring (AIM) Program, where participants watched training videos and came together to discuss mentoring: either face-to-face (spring 2020) or virtually (fall 2020). Participants indicated that the videos and discussion were engaging and reported that AIM provided useful information on communicating with their own mentees as well as with any student on campus. Participants also reported that AIM provided strategies to work with students from diverse backgrounds and strengthened their commitment to inclusive mentoring. Finally, participants indicated that they would recommend AIM to colleagues and that the program was not only beneficial to their mentoring, but also that they would put into practice techniques that they had learned. There were some differences in usage, but no significant differences in participants' ratings of the program across the two delivery formats. Thus, the AIM Program with facilitated discussion appears to provide a useful mentor training experience in both in-person and virtual formats. Because this unique program is intentionally inclusive to faculty and staff mentors across all disciplines, the goal is that this training will ultimately benefit student success across campus.

通过在线辅导员培训计划和协调讨论小组推进包容性辅导。
指导是确保本科生主导的研究和学术活动取得成功的关键;然而,大多数教职员工都没有接受过指导本科生的最佳实践培训。由美国国立卫生研究院资助的加州州立大学长滩分校 "建设引领多样性的基础设施(NIH BUILD)"计划正在开发一个在线导师培训项目,该项目设有一个协调讨论小组,旨在提高各学科教职员工的指导技能。教职员工参与了 "推进包容性指导(AIM)计划 "的两个试点项目,参与者观看了培训视频,并一起讨论指导问题:面对面(2020 年春季)或虚拟(2020 年秋季)。参与者表示,视频和讨论都很吸引人,并称 AIM 提供了与自己的被指导者以及与校园内任何学生沟通的有用信息。学员们还表示,AIM 提供了与来自不同背景的学生合作的策略,加强了他们对包容性指导的承诺。最后,学员们表示,他们会向同事推荐 AIM,该计划不仅有利于他们的指导工作,而且他们会将学到的技巧付诸实践。两种授课形式在使用上存在一些差异,但参与者对课程的评价没有显著差异。因此,AIM 计划与辅助讨论似乎在现场和虚拟两种形式中都能提供有用的指导培训体验。由于这项独特的计划有意将所有学科的教职员工导师都包括在内,其目标是使这项培训最终有利于整个校园的学生取得成功。
