Conceptual Frameworks for
Mentoring & Mentor Programs

If we know the questions we have to answer to be an effective mentoring program, how do we begin to thoughtfully consider and choose the answers to those questions, so that our decisions are informed by research and expert practitioners, and we are using principles that are known to be the most effective?

The first step is to use the following conceptual frameworks as the organizer and basis for all of your program structures and strategies. From the frameworks will flow all the other decisions you need to make. Using these frameworks to guide those decisions will help you to grow highly effective mentors and to create and develop a powerful, results-delivering program.
