Thoughts and feelings of mentoring

There are some psychosocial perspectives that I am interested in exploring with regard to mentoring in the context of supervising and assessing students in professional practice. These include the emotional experiences of supporting learners (who themselves have to contend with the emotions associated with learning), inducting students into the 'emotional display rules' of the workplace and the profession, managing time constraints and the rigours of 'getting assessment right' as one of the gatekeepers of the profession. I am interested in the emotional impact of all these perspectives. There is also a cognitive element, in terms of perceptions and understandings of events and the role generally. Thoughts and feelings, then, are what I'm hoping to explore.
