Module 5: Recap

Librarians can provide a safe and supportive environment where intellectual curiosity, innovation and creative problem solving are celebrated and nurtured. In this module, we explored the need for innovation mentoring opportunities to help students move to what Bloom and his colleagues refer to as the highest level of human cognition---creativity.

Bloom's Taxonomy is an excellent resource for planning learning experiences that encourage innovative thinking and creative behaviors. In addition, two well-known and researched educational models and one set of principles to ensure accessibility and inclusion were introduced to aid in the design of innovation-related learning activities. This module emphasized how learning is a critical element of both mentoring and innovation.

Now it's time to move on to Module 6, the final module in this training. Module 6 provides you with some ideas from real-life mentors to make your mentoring experience positive for both you and your mentee and explains why and how sometimes mentoring relationships fail.

After you complete Module 6, you will have an opportunity to take the final module quiz and to take the training post-test. This module all provides you with some helpful tips from real-life mentors so your mentoring experience is positive for both you and your mentee and explains why and how sometimes mentoring relationships fail.
