Description
Summary:Until recently, the word "unprecedented" has been relatively dormant in the collective vocabulary of most school psychologists. However, this school year has been like no other, resulting in a unique training experience for many interns and practicum students. While some trainees have been able to practice a diverse set of skills, others may have had more limited exposure in some domains.

This brief article addresses some common questions about mentorship.
