Training Wrap Up

David Viscott an American psychiatrist, author, businessman, and media personality speaks to the promise and potential of mentoring:

"The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work

of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give

your gift away."

• What are your gifts?
• Which ones are you developing and growing right now?
• How are you sharing your gifts?

What better way to create meaning in your life than to give it away by helping to create the next generation of innovators?

This training was designed to prepare you for a mentoring relationship with an aspiring young innovator and provide proven strategies and tips to ensure success.

Now you have the tools you need to engage in a mentoring relationship. You may wish to review the training content from time to time to reinforce your learning, elevate your practice or address a stumbling block.

We hope that your mentoring experience is positive and meaningful for both you and your mentee. The tools you have used here also apply to your other roles at work, as librarian, leader and mentor. Think about who you are currently mentoring, formally or informally. 

What have you learned in this training that will help you be a more effective mentor in other aspects of those roles?

To assess what you have learned from the six modules in this mentor training, we recommend you take the post-training test at this site. This test covers content from all of the learning modules. If you took the pre-training test, you can compare your scores to get an idea of how much you have learned.

The items for all tests and quizzes for this training are randomly generated so no two tests are exactly alike. This allows you to retake a test or quiz if you wish.

We hope you will continue to use what you have learned in this training and give your gift of mentoring to the young innovators and other students in your school.

Happy Mentoring!
