Mentoring Program For Non-Tenured Faculty Members. To aid in their development and growth, each probationary faculty member will be assigned a faculty mentor for at least the first year they are employed as a non-tenured faculty member. Assignment of mentors for subsequent years of a faculty member’s probationary period will be at the discretion of the College. The mentor will assist the probationary faculty member by providing guidance and advice on at least the following topics: teaching methods, student learning outcomes, course content and pace, course administration, administrative policies and procedures. The mentor will observe some of the faculty member’s classes and provide suggestions to improve teaching and student learning. The mentor may provide additional insight and suggestions for improvement based on administrative, peer, or student evaluations conducted per this Article. The mentor will serve as a general resource for the probationary faculty member. The College will assign tenured faculty to be mentors for an academic year. The College will endeavor to assign faculty members that express an interest in serving as a mentor and who teach in the same academic discipline as the probationary faculty member, where possible. Each mentor shall be compensated in accordance with Article XXII.
