OCED - Advising, Coaching, Mentoring: Role Definitions and Implications for Educators - September 9, 2025
To adequately support learners, educators need to be able to identify what type of guidance is best suited to the learner’s individual needs — advising, coaching or mentoring. However, there is not broad understanding of the definitions of these terms, how they differ and in what situations each is most applicable. This workshop will help educators recognize actions and purposes of advising, coaching and mentoring and how to identify which role is best suited to meet the learner’s needs and capitalize on the educator’s time and skills.
