The general goal of the program is the successful integration of newly-hired adjunct faculty members into the college community.
Participation is voluntary.
The partners are accountable to meet with each other for a minimum of three times during the semester to engage in professionally related activities based upon the needs of the adjunct faculty partner. Observe each other teaching and discuss the experience. Meet with college personnel to gain a better understanding of the contributions of the various roles and responsibilities of these personnel to the mission of the college. Attend a formal session of a campus, district, or state committee, meeting, forum, or training session to gain a better understanding of governance and management structures, current educational methodologies, and timely teaching for learning issues at the campus, district, and state levels. Moreover, the program is based upon a partnership model rather than a traditional mentor model.
