Time Klein's presentation on purpose got me thinking that a lot of the typical assessment we faculty do with students may not connect students to their purpose. I would love to see the AMP support training for alternative assessment methods that focus on connecting coursework to each student's purpose.

Department Peer Mentors

In addition to the professional development opportunities for faculty, we want to assign faculty mentors with experience in online course delivery to support faculty who have no such experience. Your department chair is developing a list of faculty who would like assistance from a mentor, and a list of qualified faculty who can serve as mentors. If you need or want mentoring to ease your transition to online teaching and learning, please make sure that your department chair is aware of that.

Mentors will have online teaching experience and, wherever possible, will have completed Quality Matters training. Faculty mentors will coach up to five colleagues. Faculty mentors will be paid $250 per faculty mentee or, in some cases that will require a greater commitment, may be assigned to co-teach a course. If you feel that you can serve as a mentor to some of your colleagues, please let your department chair know.

In general we expect the faculty mentors to do the following:

1) Serve as an available resource (via email, chat, phone, video conferencing), checking in at least once a week with mentees.

2) Add themselves to the Bb course sections for each mentee. This allows the mentor to troubleshoot and support the transition to a virtual teaching and learning environment.

3) Talk through with each mentee such topics as how to load course materials, use the grade book, use discussion board and email features to ensure faculty-to-student and student-to-student engagement.

4) Support transitions to learning assessments that work in a virtual environment and without the option of testing in ACC's Testing Centers.

5) Offer suggestions and support for recording lectures for upload, using Google Meet, crafting assignments that reflect application of course concepts, etc.
