Course Description
The Mentoring Additional Qualification Course will support candidates by exploring mentorship through a critical lens. The analysis of pedagogical mentorship strategies in program design, planning, and implementation will be a focal point. The course provides opportunities for reflection on personal goals, building capacity, promoting equity, and fostering transformative mentorship.
Most Western AQ courses are offered in a combined format, where candidates across Schedule A (Divisional Qualifications-ABQ), Schedule D (3-part AQ), or Schedule E (Honour Specialist AQ), may be combined. As candidates participate in course discussions and collaborative inquiries they work towards achievement of their course-specific expectations.
Course normally offered in the Spring session.
