Lecturer Mentoring Program Development
Eligibility: Senior lecturers and lecturers
Amount: Each participant will receive $500 in professional development funds
Submission: Online Application
Due Date: Monday, April 16, 2018
Purpose and Description
This FLC will focus on the development of a mentoring system for Teaching/Clinical Professors or Lecturers (TCPL) TCPL faculty are increasing (or at the cap) across the university, and these faculty are responsible for teaching a large number of courses, are often involved in curriculum development, and advise large numbers of students. Currently, there is no formal mentorship system for TCPL faculty; yet access to mentoring is important for TCPL faculty as these faculty navigate these responsibilities, departmental and university expectations, and promotion applications.
Activities
- Explore research on and current practices of mentoring within the non-tenure track (through readings, Lilly Conference sessions, and a guest speaker)
- Develop a proposal for a TCPL-focused mentoring system.
- Allow participants to gain experience within a pilot TCPL mentorship relationship.
- Guest speakers who have experience within a TCPL-focused (or inclusive) faculty mentoring system.
