Abstract

Renewing our understanding of the relationship between teaching and mentoring can advance our practice as educators and improve student outcomes. As we strengthen connections between the classroom and the workplace, we contextualize students’ learning and provide the tools for success both academically and professionally. This article provides a historical and theoretical foundation for mentoring in higher education, accompanied by concrete strategies and suggestions for implementing a mentoring program and encouraging individual faculty members to expand their pedagogical practice by engaging in mentoring through their daily interactions with students.
