New Peer-to-Peer Faculty Mentoring Program!
Mentoring enhances teaching effectiveness (Williams, 1991), and increases productivity and satisfaction. In addition, mentoring promotes a more positive organizational climate (Corcoran & Clark, 1984; Melicher, 2000). The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Mentoring Program is a relational coaching model that provides supportive, collaborative, and active engagement for faculty members who are teaching online.
P2P participants enter the program via two tracks: Faculty who are new to teaching online or blended and faculty who currently teach online or blended.
Faculty Who Are New to Teaching Online and Blended
As more faculty become interested in teaching online, it is vital to have a relational structure in place to assist with transitioning to an online environment. Thus, participation in the P2P Mentoring Program is essential to success for faculty wanting to teach online or blended.
To forge the relationship between the mentor and mentee, the mentor shall attend the demo of the mentee’s course to collaborate on any necessary modifications to the mentee’s course. After completing CDI training online, the new Exit Demo process for final approval can be found here:
Faculty Who Currently Teach Online and Blended
The P2P Mentoring Program provides advice to faculty who currently teach online and blended. Faculty may be teaching a specific course online or blended for the first time; may be struggling with teaching online or blended; may be a seasoned online or blended instructor who wants to discuss pedagogy with a colleague; or may want to improve a course. Advice includes, but not limited to:
Content Matter
Overall Design
Creating Content
Finding Open Educational Resources (OER)
Workload/Time Management
Thinking Outside the Box
Cross Discipline Efforts
ADA Compliance
Classroom Management
Under this track, faculty may self-identify as needing a mentor. Also, deans and/or department chairs may recommend faculty to the P2P program or request mentoring for faculty in need of remediation and support.
