The Beach Mentor Program is part of a larger mentor training program, Advancing Inclusive Mentoring (AIM), developed at California State University Long Beach as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Initiative. The overarching goals of AIM are to provide a variety of engaging training resources for faculty and staff members at CSULB to promote student success through positive and inclusive mentoring. Because student involvement in high impact practices such as internships and research, scholarly, and creative activities boost student success – particularly when associated with strong mentorship, learning the best practices for mentoring is a critical component of facilitating student success.

In this 90-minute session, part of the Faculty Center CRSP Series, participants will learn concrete strategies for being more transparent with their students about their goals and expectations for them. Recent research by Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes and others show that these few simple steps toward greater transparency can enhance students’ learning in our classes and boost retention, all while having disproportionately large benefits for first-generation students. Participants will examine examples of assignments that have been redesigned to be more transparent for students and then engage in peer review of each other’s assignments.
