Student/Faculty
Teaching Mentorship Program
- The principle purpose of the Student/Faculty Teaching
Mentorship Program (SFTMP) is to offer student the
opportunity
to be involved in faculty instructional activities.
The SFTMP allows students to learn about college-level
teaching in ways that transcend the traditional roles
of faculty and students.
- The program is university-wide and covers all academic
departments. Participation is open to undergraduate
and graduate students in good academic standing. Although
this program is offered on non-credit basis, students
will receive transcript recognition for their participation.
The SFTMP is administered by the Center for Teaching
and Learning Excellence (CTLE) and the Registrar's Office.
- The Registrar's Office will inform the CTLE on how
many students per faculty are participating each semester.
- The SFTMP supports quality instruction and encourages
closer collaboration in the teaching enterprise.
- Collaborative efforts create an environment in which
students and faculty can learn and dialogue about pedagogy.
- The SFTMP advances the goal of the Task Force on
Ignatian Identity and Mission of "becoming a mentoring
community."
- Faculty benefit from the collaboration with capable
and motivated students.
- Students benefit both from experiencing what it is
like to be a college teacher and from investigating
a discipline in greater depth.
- Students find faculty sponsors to discuss
the mentorship and teaching activities. If the student
and the faculty member reach an agreement, they jointly
complete a "Mentorship Contract" detailing
the nature of the teaching mentorship and the tasks
involved.
- Students are required to commit a minimum of one
term/semester to the program. Work may continue beyond
one term/semester, but students must register each term/semester.
Students should expect to devote 60-90 hours per contract
to teaching mentorship activities; however, the exact
scheduling of the time may vary depending on the schedules
of the students and faculty.
To apply for the Student/Faculty Teaching
Mentorship Program, you must complete a Program Contract.
