Mentorship Training Program and Facilitator Guide
Mentorship Program and Facilitator Guide
This project involves creating a comprehensive facilitator guide to support the implementation of a Faculty and Student Mentorship Program. The guide served as a foundational resource for faculty members who took on the role of mentors, offering structured guidance and clear expectations.
Target Audience:
The primary audience for the facilitator guide is faculty members who served as mentors. These individuals may have varying levels of prior mentoring experience, ranging from seasoned mentors to those new to the concept. Additionally, the guide was a resource for program administrators and coordinators who were responsible for overseeing the mentorship program, ensuring consistency and quality across mentor-mentee interactions.
Workshop Outline & Handout
This handout was developed as a key resource for a faculty workshop focused on strategies for creating an engaging and interactive learning environment. The workshop aimed to equip faculty members with practical tools and techniques to foster student engagement, enhance participation, and create a dynamic classroom experience. The handout provides a structured outline of the workshop, including both class activities and reflection exercises, along with valuable resources to support faculty in implementing these strategies.
Workshop Structure: The handout outlines the workshop agenda, highlighting key sessions that cover topics such as understanding student engagement, methods for encouraging active learning, and techniques for building a supportive classroom culture. Each section is designed to be interactive, with opportunities for faculty to discuss, practice, and reflect on the concepts presented.
Class Activities: It includes detailed descriptions of in-class activities that can be directly applied to various teaching settings. Examples include think-pair-share exercises, small group discussions, role-playing scenarios, and interactive polling techniques. These activities are chosen to illustrate how different engagement methods can be adapted to suit various teaching styles and subjects.
Reflection Activities: The handout features guided reflection prompts that encourage faculty to think critically about their teaching practices and consider new approaches to enhance student engagement. Reflection activities are designed to be completed individually or in pairs, allowing for personal insights and peer feedback.
Resources for Creating an Engaged Classroom: The handout offers a curated list of resources, including articles, books, and online tools, that provide further reading and practical tips on creating an engaging learning environment. Topics covered include fostering inclusive participation, using technology to enhance engagement, and developing classroom norms that promote active learning.
