Mentoring, Teaching & Learning

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

In this section you will find information, resources, suggestions, and more about mentoring, teaching and learning at Empire State College, including underlying principles, our learners, pedagogy, and processes and procedures, as well as links to offices, documents, and other resources that can help to answer your questions. This section of the CML website is drawn from the work of many Empire State College mentors, who developed Mentorsite (now archived) and Mentor Source, over several years, to help faculty find information and resources and to interact with one another on questions of common interest.
 

Four mentors who especially deserve much thanks for their work over many years on Mentorsite are: Alan Mandell, Frieda Mendelsohn, Chris Rounds and Susan Oaks.  Very helpful in the initial conceptualization was: Xenia Coulter.  In addition, other contributors included: Mayra Bloom, Cathy Davison, Brian Gabriel, Francis Murage, Robyn Silverman and Stephanie Thomas.
 

Just as Mentorsite was, our CML site is a work in progress with several areas yet to be developed.  As we continue to develop the site, we invite you to send us information and hope you will send us your ideas, comments and requests related to the site.  We want it to be helpful to you!
