During this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about how the EIPA is structured, rated, and how to understand and interpret skill areas assessed on the test as discovered through Dr. Cates’ research. Through the application of Dr. Garay’s GULP! method of mentoring, participants will have an opportunity to learn ways to design and deliver meaningful constructive feedback.
