Mentoring Program

ACE Faculty Cohort

 

Announcement:
Faculty Cohort mentoring sessions will resume in Fall 2011

Look for helpful tips from Victoria Bañales arriving in your email box each week during the Spring 2011 semester.  You'll receive alerts about expected rhythms of the semester, guidance on common student issues, and reminders about important activities or forms.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Now available to all instructors teaching in an ACE Cohort, not just the cohort leads.

We will offer 16 (90 minute) teleconference/web based sessions where instructors can attend on a "drop in basis" to accommodate busy schedules. Registration is not required.

These mentoring sessions provide structured support for ACE Faculty.  The sessions will be led by experienced ACE Faculty Cohort Lead, Victoria Bañales. Some of the sessions will include a guest appearance by Behavior System instructor Jim Knickerbocker, who will present some recommended Behavior System tools.

 

Who Should Attend
These sessions are strongly encouraged for all first-time ACE Faculty. More experienced faculty are also welcome and are likely to find the sessions beneficial.   

Past participants found the Faculty Cohort (FC) Mentoring Sessions incredibly useful, not only in terms of gaining key information regarding the ACE program model and what to expect during the bridge semester, but also in terms of getting valuable 1:1 support when complex problems or student issues arose in cohorts.

Some of the benefits and tools participants will gain from the FC Mentoring Sessions are:

  • anticipating and understanding the rhythms of the bridge semester
  • being alerted to important activities, deadlines
  • support in dealing with and resolving student behavioral issues--including disruptive behaviors, attendance/tardy problems, lack of motivation, and more
  • accessing the ACE toolkit (which includes lessons on the Cycle of Value vs. Waste, Communication Ladder, Bio-reaction, and more) to effectively communicate with the students and co-faculty members
  • getting 1:1 weekly support for situational issues or problems that may arise

 

Agenda
Please note that the first half of each weekly session will be devoted to delivering key ACE program information, updates, deadlines, tools, and more. The second half will be reserved for 1:1 support for problem solving and dealing with specific issues that may arise in individual cohorts.
