Task 6: Mentor Guide
The Task Assignment

If other faculty members are going to teach this course, you may want to devote time to creating a Mentor’s Guide to orient them to this style of teaching, in general, and to this course, in particular. You may also want to create a formal process for orienting new faculty. There are no hard-and-fast rules to creating such a Mentor’s Guide; perhaps it is best to think in terms of creating the material that you would want were you brought in to teach a course developed by another faculty member. To assist you, we have provided a number of readings, sample Mentor’s Guides, and a sample orientation process in the Resources section of this site.

After the material is drafted, it should be reviewed, and then the course author(s) will produce a final draft.
