Call For Instructional Coaches, Instructional Coaching Program Participants – Mentoring Alliance Program

Call For Instructional Coaches – Mentoring Alliance Program

Call For Instructional Coaches - Mentoring Alliance Program

CALL FOR  

Instructional Coaches, Instructional Coaching Program Participants Mentoring Alliance Program Conveners 

In line with our institutional anti-racism commitments, The Crown Center for Teaching Instructional Coaching Program is designed to support CC educators’ anti-oppressive pedagogical development.  The program leverages CC faculty knowledge and skills by hiring interested CC faculty who then serve as coaches to fellow faculty seeking instructional coaching support.   

Become a Coach: The IC program seeks to hire three-five new instructional coaches for the 2023-2024 school year. Instructional coaches serve as pedagogical thought partners who are responsible for observing and supporting the development of one “coachee” colleague throughout an academic year through four coaching cycles.  Coaching cycles include a pre-observation conversation, a 2-stage classroom observation using the Inclusive Pedagogies Observation Protocol (IPOP foundations and advanced), and a post-observation debrief.   

New coaches are required to attend an instructional coach training from 10-3 on August 18, 2023.   

All coaches, including returning coaches, are required to attend a semesterly check-in on Thursday November 30th from 3:30-5pm and Friday April 26th from 12:15-2pm. 

Instructional coaches are paid $2500 each academic year to support the professional growth of one coachee.  

Apply to become a coach here. 

Get a Coach: The IC program invites faculty and instructors of all ranks including visiting instructors, to sign up for the Instructional Coaching Program. Instructional coaching includes use of the Inclusive Pedagogies Observation Protocol (IPOP foundations and advanced) but is also flexible depending upon your goals and needs.  

The coachee’s teaching challenges and successes revealed through this program are not shared with department/program chairs, mentors, or colleagues.  Privacy and confidentiality are taken very seriously because we want this program to be a space where educators can be vulnerable, can experiment with new teaching approaches, and feel supported as they learn and grow as teachers.   

Participants in the coaching program must commit to two coaching cycles per semester, proactive scheduling, and communication with their Instructional Coach. Participants are also required to attend a coaching program orientation on Thursday August 24th from 2:30-4pm, and semesterly check ins on Tuesday November 28th from 3:30-5pm and Tuesday April 23rd from 3:30-5pm.  

Apply for an instructional coach here 

Questions? Contact Lead Instructional Coaches Tina Valtierra and/or Santiago Guerra. 

 

Mentoring Alliance Program (MAP) 

The Crown Center for Teaching MAP is based on ADEI values and principles. The program supports early career faculty by fostering collaborative and non-hierarchical relationships and by honoring their new ideas, energy, and experiences. The program also provides faculty with opportunities to develop their capacity for robust, intentional, collective, and interdisciplinary mentoring to strengthen the college’s retention efforts. The program is available to early career tenure-track and full-time visiting faculty. 

Learn more about the program here  

Become a Convener: MAP convener commitments include: 1) convening your assigned team of early career faculty to meet blockly in the team’s first year and at least an average of every other block for year 2 and beyond; 2) engaging in a one-day mentor development workshop (August 21st , 10-3pm); and 3) participating in check-in meetings during Blocks 3 and 6. 

MAP conveners must be tenured faculty.  MAP conveners who anticipate semester-long sabbaticals may serve as conveners and be temporarily replaced by another tenured faculty member who has completed the mentor development workshops. Those who anticipate year-long sabbaticals may serve as conveners and be temporarily replaced during their sabbatical only if their sabbatical is not scheduled during the team’s new early career faculty members’ first, third, or sixth years (for tenure-track faculty teams).  

MAP conveners are compensated $2500 stipend per academic year of service in this role. 

Apply to become a MAP convener for tenure-track early career faculty here.
