Where to go from here? Mentorship for Mid-Career Professionals

Monday, October 28, 2024

1:45 PM – 2:45 PM EDT

Location: Meeting Room 22

Presentation Description: Mentorship is not one size fits all for mid-career international educators. We balance working with new and seasoned professionals, diverse caregiving priorities, and different financial goals. Some of us are managers. All of us have built a strong foundation in international education, but sometimes wonder where that's going and if you should stay in the field. Learn about stories and strategies for building a toolbox of self-guided mentorship through professional service, networking, and life-long learning. Begin to build your next phase as a mid-career international educator.
Learning Objectives:
Identify elements about yourself to build your path for mentorship.
Learn about different combinations and trajectories for mentorship.
Reflect and create your next steps for mentorship.
