Mentoring Millennials: Teaching Roles Outside of the Classroom in the Digital AgeDate: April 23, 2014 April Chat Description: With changing faculty roles and evolving ideas about promotion, tenure, and merit, faculty are often left wondering how to balance the multifaceted expectations from administrators, colleagues, and students. This forum seeks to focus on issues surrounding how our roles in the classroom connect to our roles outside of the classroom. Questions raised include: How do we discover and nurture our students’ interests, aptitudes, and talents in the age of digital communication? What does mentoring mean now to students and educators? How can we foster productive peer-to-peer mentoring? Finally, how do we account for mentoring in faculty workload expectations? |
