The sorcerer's apprentice a case study in the role of the mentor

Analyzed and related to the education of gifted children is the role of the mentor as seen in the writings of Castaneda. The mentor/pupil relationship is illustrated in the sorcerer and the apprentice. Characteristics of the mentor's art (such as teaching from the world to the student) and of the pupil (such as a willingness to experience) are discussed. A final section focuses on the following implications for gifted child education: rooting mentor programs in experiential learning, matching mentor with pupil, allowing for openended programs, and basing instruction and evaluation on competencies rather than norms.
