Update - Aviation-Mentoring Survey
|
|
|
Many of you have participated in the SAFE
mentoring interest survey already, and news
about its availability has been appearing in
the media as well. The success of the program
that evolves from the results depends on
collecting as much information as possible
from as many aviation educators as possible.
If you have not yet taken the survey, please
consider doing so. We encourage you to
forward the link to the survey (or even this
eNews using the "Forward email" link
below) to other aviation educators as
well: ground and flight instructors,
teachers in academia, maintenance and
avionics educators, etc.
