Is there a training and mentoring system for new CIS political science teachers?
Our teachers are mentored in their first year, taking a directed studies course with the CIS faculty coordinator. They typically review and evaluate various introductory textbooks. New teachers also benefit from workshops that focus on course content and University processes, as well as an orientation to College in the Schools that will familiarize them with the support available through CIS and prepare them for administrative tasks such as registering students and posting grades.
