“…Improved cross‐cultural understanding was also described (Cushing & Love, 2013; Friedman & Herrmann, 2014; Patel et al, 2021). While sometimes specifically named as cultural competence or understanding, studies also described mentors' growth related to their knowledge of others' perspectives and cultures.…”

This qualitative review synthesizes evidence regarding how cultural humility (i.e., critical self‐reflection, challenging inequity) may be influenced by the experience of serving as a mentor in a youth program. A systematic search identified 35 qualitative studies with findings that address this question. Thematic synthesis of extracted data identified the following six themes, all but one of which pertains to ways in which serving as a mentor appeared to have enhanced the cultural humility of the adults involved: (1) humanizing others: awareness of experiential differences, (2) reflecting inward on one's own identity, biases, and opportunities, (3) connecting with others, (4) recognizing environmental influences on human development, (5) envisioning contributions to community change, and (6) counterevidence: deficit‐oriented attributions. Findings indicate that mentor cultural humility development primarily entailed individual and interpersonal awareness with relatively less evidence of increased awareness of and action to change inequality. The identified themes provide promising directions for future research as well as potentially useful avenues for incorporating consideration of cultural humility more intentionally in the development and evaluation of mentoring programs for youth.

“…The challenges that mentors face encourage them to critically examine their beliefs about writing (Nail & Townsend, 2010). Online writing partnerships also support cultural competence (Friedman & Herrmann, 2014), fostering meaningful relationships and writing experiences (West & Saine, 2017) as students are given the opportunity to write to authentic audiences for authentic purposes.…”

As a component of dialogic writing response, question posing is an essential strategy for crafting meaningful writing experiences. The author used qualitative content analysis to explore the question‐posing feedback provided by eight secondary English teacher candidates in response to literary essays by ninth graders. Findings indicate that despite a focus on dialogic writing processes in their Methods course, teacher candidates defaulted to skills‐based views of language use and policed student discourse in ways that aligned with the policy climate and their own experiences of schooling. Three different question types were identified: power‐concealing, power‐conserving, and power‐conferring. The author argues that the power‐conferring questions helped deepen students’ textual analysis and allowed for ownership over the writing process, resulting in meaningful revisions. The author concludes with an inquiry framework designed to help teachers interrogate how their assumptions about writing and students’ literate selves manifest in their writing feedback.

Aims A relatively large body of research exists on the effectiveness of mentoring programs directed at youth and numerous syntheses of this literature have proven useful for advancing both research and practice. Less studied, but also important is the potential for adults serving in the role of mentor to young persons to be influenced by this experience. A scoping review was conducted with the aim of identifying and critically assessing major trends in the methods and findings in this literature. Methods Included sources were empirical studies reporting findings that address potential influences on adults (18+) serving as mentors to youth (<18) in formal programs designed for this purpose. The initial search resulted in 3155 records and 96 were included in the review. Results Approximately half of the studies (58%) focused on younger adults (ages 18–22 years old, e.g., college students) serving as mentors; only a small minority of studies focused on adults over 35 years old (10%). Most studies were qualitative (n = 54). Studies with a quantitative component (n = 18 quantitative only; n = 24 mixed methods) exhibited a significant risk of bias for inferring effects on mentors due to limitations in study design (e.g., lack of comparison group). Studies most often addressed potential outcomes for mentors in academic/career (55%) and social (45%) domains, when findings suggested possible effects on mentors, they were nearly universally in a positive direction. Conclusion Existing research, although consistent with the potential for adults to benefit from the experience of mentoring youth, has insufficient rigor and representativeness to adequately address this question. Future research should utilize more rigorous quantitative designs and samples with greater representativeness of the different stages of adult development.
