Faculty-to-Faculty Peer Mentoring

What is TEP peer mentoring?

Peer mentoring is…

• Provided by experienced Lewis & Clark faculty who have participated in the TEP peer observation trainings
• Completely voluntary
• Confidential
• Focused on providing support, not assessment
• Constructive and collaborative, not evaluative
• Available for any member of the CAS faculty (tenured, term, tenure-track, visiting, adjunct)

Peer mentoring includes…

• Focused assistance in identifying and addressing challenges in a particular class
• An initial classroom observation at any time of the semester
• Follow-up classroom observations, if desired
• Assistance with post-observation goal setting
• Support in developing and utilizing effective pedagogical techniques
•  Collaborative and in-depth consultations focused on one or more courses
• Feedback on syllabus planning and course design
• Facilitation of a mid-semester, consensus-based, student feedback process to provide concrete suggestions for your course, if desired
• Ongoing mentoring and collaborative goal setting (beyond the single semester of classroom observation)
• Assistance with interpreting end-of-semester student evaluations
• Support for departments or programs who wish to evaluate and improve upon shared student experiences in the major or minor
