We invite experienced Reacting instructors to apply to act as mentors. This is for instructors who are interested in being a MENTOR to other instructors who are either total "Reacting Newbies," and/or will be using a new game for the first time. If you would like to be mentored (receive guidance), please apply
here.
OVERVIEWOver October and November we will be doing a beta-run of a Reacting mentorship program, with the intention of building a larger, ongoing program. We'll be experimenting with a new strategy for providing formal mentoring within the Reacting community to see if it will fulfill our (current) needs.
This mentorship program will have two parts:
-- General Reacting Guidance
Online modules providing general guidance and resources that can apply to most any Reacting game (ie: set-up, grading, etc). We are interested in investigating both synchronous (e.g. Zoom) and asynchronous (Slack, Google Classroom, other) delivery methods.
-- Game-Specific Guidance
Mentors will work with one or a few faculty to provide guidance on a specific game. Mentoring can be synchronous or asynchronous, using whichever technologies work best for you and your mentees (e.g. phone, email, Slack, Discord, etc.) We ask that you have at least three check-ins with your faculty mentee.
TIME COMMITMENT
While much of this will be asynchronous, we ask that all mentors (whether general or game-specific) try to attend a welcome and/or closing zoom call and be responsive on slack.
SCHEDULE
Program will run October - November
Mentors will receive a certificate and letter for their RPT file, and our never-ending appreciation.
If you're unable to act as a mentor this fall, but would like to help us plan or have ideas or questions, please email
mprovo@barnard.edu.
APPLY BELOW. DEADLINE EXTENDED THROUGH SEPTEMBER 23 .
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
