College of Southern Maryland

Faculty Mentor/Partner Agreement

 

____________            ____________

Semester                      Year

 

We are voluntarily entering into a mentoring relationship that we expect to benefit both of us and the College of Southern Maryland.  We want this to be a rewarding experience with most of our time together spent in an exchange of ideas about teaching.

 

To establish a mutually acceptable understanding of our responsibilities, we have discussed and agree to the following administrative details of our mentor/partner relationship:

 

Weekly contact (at minimum) will be carried out through:

(Check all that apply.)   __________ Face-to-face meeting  

  __________ Telephone

  __________ E-mail

  __________ Weekly WebCT Chat

 

 

Best meeting time, based on our schedules:  ­­­­­­­­­__________________________________

 

We have discussed the mentoring experience as it relates to faculty development and its relationship to the policies and procedures of the college, and we understand the limits of confidentiality in the mentoring relationship.

 

We agree that the mentor may be enrolled in my WebCT course in the following role(s):

 

____ Designer

____ Teaching Assistant

____ Auditor 

 

We agree that this relationship can be concluded by either of us at any time, for any reason.   We further agree that, should we choose to dissolve the mentor/partner relationship, we will notify the coordinator of the mentoring program.  (Every effort will be made to provide a new mentor for the partner or alternative support, upon the partner’s request.)
