Mentoring initiatives and activities have had a significant positive effect on education at many levels. This workshop is designed to establish a mentoring community of renowned mentors in an effort to create a national resource of faculty and educators who have excelled in enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. This effort brings together for the first time nationally recognized Mentors who have been awarded the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM). The workshop hosts discussions to inform successful strategies for establishing several key features for the initiation of the mentoring community. These key features include 1) establishing a Community of Mentoring Leaders in STEM fields; 2) establishing a sub-group of Mentors that can serve as a national resource for agencies, committees, and advisory groups by providing information on best practices for policy development relevant to strengthening STEM education throughout the nation; 3) establishing a learning community environment for Mentors that supports the opportunity for enhanced collaboration and connectivity ; and 4) establishing pathways of knowledge transfer for sharing of best practices and increasing dissemination efforts. These efforts are aimed at substantially enhancing future dissemination and subsequent adoption of best mentoring practices. Strategies for effectively evaluating and assessing mentoring programs will also be discussed during the workshop.

辅导举措和活动对许多层面的教育产生了显着的积极影响。该研讨会旨在建立一个由知名导师组成的指导社区，努力创建一个由在加强科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育方面表现出色的教师和教育工作者组成的国家资源。这项努力首次汇集了获得科学、数学和工程卓越指导总统奖 (PAESMEM) 的全国认可导师。该研讨会举办讨论，为建立指导社区启动的几个关键特征提供成功的策略。这些主要特点包括 1) 建立 STEM 领域指导领袖社区； 2) 建立一个导师小组，通过提供与加强全国 STEM 教育相关的政策制定最佳实践信息，作为机构、委员会和咨询小组的国家资源； 3) 为导师建立一个学习社区环境，支持加强协作和联系的机会； 4) 建立知识转移途径，以分享最佳实践并加大传播力度。这些努力旨在大幅加强未来最佳指导实践的传播和随后的采用。研讨会期间还将讨论有效评估和评估指导计划的策略。
