Mentoring Program

Team Self-Management (TSM) Course

These mentoring sessions provide structured support for instructors who are delivering the Team Self-Management (TSM). In the sessions, a TSM Master Mentor shares prior teaching experiences with the group and creates a forum for participants to share best practices with one another.

To encourage the development of collaborative working relationships between instructors, a cohort model is used in which participants commit to a particular meeting time with the same group for the entire semester.

Who Should Attend
These mentoring sessions are intended for instructors who have a TSM Instructor Kit and are required for any TSM instructor wishing to pursue eventual ACE certification.  Experienced TSM instructors are also welcome.

Drop-ins are allowed by any instructor who has taught TSM in the past and can't commit to the entire series. All drop-ins need to register in order to receive meeting information and because session attendance is relevant to certification.

Agenda
A typical session agenda includes:

• Discussion of the previous two weeks & what faculty learned about the curriculum and working with ACE students
• Discussion of the curriculum exercises to be covered in the coming two weeks
• Responses to questions raised by participants before or during the meeting
• Reports from participants of good practices or ideas related to the course
• Improvements that faculty are making to the curriculum kits
