ABSTRACT In this narrative account, the authors share how a mentoring relationship between a doctoral student and educational leadership professor experienced the mentoring stage of redefinition when the student transitioned into a faculty position. The authors describe an ever-changing experience as the partnership has evolved, with mentoring activities diminishing and the relationship solidifying into a research partnership and friendship. Drawing upon shared commitments to mentoring and high-quality education, the authors have been intentional in expanding the dyad into a network, including their doctoral students in collaborative research activities. Students have experienced benefits (as they have informally reported, and as evidenced by their academic records); the two faculty members, at different institutions and with differing research expertise and experiential backgrounds, could provide differentiated feedback and perspectives to these students. The network has also provided benefits for the mentors, who experienced increased productivity, new research insights, and deeper understandings of quality mentoring relationships.

从二元论到网络：指导关系的演变

摘要在此叙述中，作者分享了当学生转为教职时，博士生与教育领导教授之间的指导关系如何经历重新定义的指导阶段。作者描述了随着合作伙伴关系的发展，经历不断变化的经验，指导活动逐渐减少，双方的关系巩固为研究合作伙伴关系和友谊。依靠对指导和高质量教育的共同承诺，作者一直致力于将dyad扩展为一个网络，包括他们在合作研究活动中的博士生。学生已经受益（他们已经非正式地汇报了，并且由他们的学习成绩证明）；两位老师，在不同机构，具有不同研究专业知识和经验背景的学生，可以为这些学生提供不同的反馈和见解。该网络还为经验丰富的导师提供了好处，他们的工作效率得到了提高，获得了新的研究见解，并对质量指导关系有了更深入的了解。
