Key deliverables of the revision included researching and adopting examples of excellence, aligning the education with a recognizing prior learning (RPL) approach, and embracing a self-directed approach. The resources section has been streamlined and the education structure provides opportunities for the participant to produce evidence of knowledge, skills, and abilities to meet mentorship competencies in a RPL approach.

The competency-based learning outcomes were modified to align with the new education approach. The content is now grouped into three modules.

• Module 1: Understand the role of the mentor
• Module 2: Demonstrate mentor competencies
• Module 3: Demonstrate mentor accountability

The package includes “how to” directions for implementation, in the Administrative Guide. There is an exit point survey after the first module the participant can complete if the education/outcomes are not what the mentor expected (“Should I be a Mentor”), or they feel they do not fit the role. We ask you to send us the module/education evaluations (evaluations are available for each module). We have also included a certificate template you can issue to mentors who complete the education.
