Faculty Mentoring Program

The New Faculty Mentoring Program is designed to support the College mission of a “Learning College Model.” The purpose of the mentor program is to assist new faculty to become familiar with the MATC environment and to learn the policies, procedures and standards of the College and department. Additionally, this is a time for faculty to develop and strengthen active and/or collaborative learning methodologies, technology-assisted learning methodologies and become actively engaged in curriculum development, such as Learning Communities.

Goals include:

• To orient new Full Time Faculty to the MATC work environment in an open and supportive manner. 
• To foster healthy work relationships and a fuller understanding of the scope of a Full Time faculty member’s work.
• To foster meaningful dialogue on the faculty role in student learning and success.
• To create a pairing of new FT faculty with veteran “positive” affirming FT faculty.
• To foster the professional development of new faculty via open communication between mentors and mentees with ongoing support from the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
