The first-ever class of Peer Instructional Design Mentor Teachers at SUNY New Paltz will return this semester to provide peer-to-peer advice to other faculty members on a wide range of topics related to online and hybrid teaching.
Drop-in hours will be offered virtually according to the schedule below. All drop-in hours will be hosted at this WebEx Meeting Link.
All are welcome to attend the office hours of any faculty fellow, even if they are from another school. Faculty mentors can also meet at other times outside of their drop-in hours, so even if the drop-in hours for the mentor you’d like to work with have passed, you can reach out to any mentor for their availability to schedule a one-on-one meeting.
