The Mentoring-Empowered Model: Professional Role Functions in Graduate Student Advisement
The Mentoring-Empowered Model provides a developmental framework for graduate student advisement that addresses the psychosocial and developmental needs of graduate students. The model is based upon (a) existing concepts of graduate student advisement, (b) the recently formalized knowledge base pertaining to educational mentoring, and (c) Erikson's stages of human development. The Mentoring-Empowered Model provides graduate advisors with six characteristics essential to creating a developmental context for graduate student advisement and five behavior-specific role functions to facilitate implementation.
