Mentoring Program from AET
All of us want to be successful in our chosen academic careers. One of the most effective and proven methods of achieving success is to acquire a mentor. Interestingly, nearly all very successful people in all areas of life can identify at least one person who had a significant impact on their careers/lives. In order to provide the faculty with this powerful tool for the success the Academy has established a formal mentoring program. The program is of a one-year duration and pairs respected senior faculty with junior faculty. The program is voluntary with mentors donating their time and expertise to assist their mentees (protégés) in achieving their goals. Separate training programs will be conducted at the beginning of the semester for both mentors and mentees. To inquire about the program, contact Dr. Linnea GlenMaye in Academic Affairs. linnea.glenmaye@wichita.edu

Teaching Resources
Due to a generous donation by an anonymous AET member,
the W.S.U. Library has a special collection of books on teaching in higher
education. These books represent the
best of the current thinking on college level teaching and are highly
recommended by the Academy for Effective Teaching. The titles and a synopsis of the content of
each book can be found at
https://libraries.wichita.edu/aetbooks
The Academy for Effective Teaching is devoted to fostering effective teaching by engaging in various activities. One such activity is to sponsor seminars that focus on teaching and learning strategies. These seminars are conducted by the best teachers on campus and deal with topics that are of interest to all teaching faculty. The Academy typically offers two seminars each year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Announcements will be made in advance for each seminar. Look for them.
Videos
The Academy and Media Resources have collaborated on
producing a series of videos on the art of teaching. The videos cover a wide range of topics on
teaching philosophy and techniques and
feature award-winning teachers sharing information with fellow teachers. These
videos can be accessed through the following link

Mentoring
The Academy sponsors a mentoring program for teaching
faculty. Although the program was
originally designed for new faculty member, it has been expanded to include any
teacher who wishes to improve their teaching performance. If you want more information about this program,
