- Faculty may share course syllabi with the mentee to help with syllabus construction, but the preparation of lectures, course materials, class activities and assignments, exams, and grading rubrics are the responsibility of the mentee. We encourage students to join FPP early in their graduate career, as many of these topics are covered in the FPP workshops.
- The faculty and mentee will meet at least once before the course begins to review the syllabus and discuss additional matters related to course preparation. This consultation should also include a review of university policies including student confidentiality and FERPA, sexual harassment, Nonattendance, religious observances, Office of Disability Services, and academic integrity. Departmental recommendations regarding class cancellations, successful learning environments, and other instructional issues should also be discussed.
- The faculty and mentee will meet once a month to discuss the course. The monthly check-in meetings will be arranged by the faculty in consultation with the mentee. The mentee is encouraged to share written reflections on their teaching and/or course materials (e.g., handouts, exams, assignments) for discussion with their Faculty Teaching Mentor during these meetings. These meetings may also be used to address course challenges, but the mentee may request additional consultations with the Faculty Teaching Mentor as questions or issues arise across the semester.
- The faculty will observe the mentee in the classroom once during the semester. The mentee should initiate and share possible dates with the faculty mentor and the faculty mentor will confirm the observation date. The faculty can use the Instructional Observation Form provided by FPP (see pages 11-12 of the FPP handbook) or provide their own written comments on the observation. This documentation can be incorporated into the mentee’s teaching portfolio. Note that the Department Chair will also be conducting an independent teaching observation during the semester.
