1. Rising With the Tide: Applying Adaptive Mentorship in the Professional Practicum

Abstract

The Adaptive Mentorship (AM) model (formerly called Contextual Supervision) is described and implications are raised for its wider implementation. The researchers derived the AM model from earlier contingency leadership approaches, and during the last two decades, have further refined it. They argue for the transferability of AM, because it may be adapted by mentors in any field to assist protégés in developing professional proficiency in their respective contexts.
