Sincerely, Kim Corzine Kim Corzine Director of Teaching Fellows Western Carolina University WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TEACHING FELLOWS Everything You Need to Know Communication Please read your emails each day Urgent emails that require you to respond or take immediate action will be coded with a red exclamation mark (!) This red exclamation mark is an indicator to you that the message is of high importance Fellows who fail to reply to emails pertaining to program business or requirements will receive a maximum of one courtesy phone call to make you aware of unfinished business that requires your prompt attention Failure to respond will cause a Fellow to be categorized as “not in good standing” within the campus program and could result in probationary status Seminars All Teaching Fellows are required to register for seminar during every semester except during the senior year Sophomores register for EDCI 200-70, and Juniors register for EDCI 300-70 If you experience conflicts with other required courses, please speak with Kim Corzine for appropriate alternatives Absences from Seminar: Fellows are expected to attend seminar Only one absence per semester will be excused Hours not completed will result in an unsatisfactory seminar grade The absence policy will be discussed the first day of Seminar, and included in the syllabus Service & Cultural Hours Attendance at a minimum of two cultural events and one multi-cultural event each semester will be counted as seminar requirements Fellows will document their experiences on the yellow Cultural-Multicultural Forms These forms are submitted to your director at the end of each semester All Fellows must attend at least two cultural events and one multi-cultural event on campus each semester At the beginning of each semester Fellows will be provided forms on which to record attendance at these cultural events We hope that you will attend many more than just the two required events (record ALL events that you attend) Cultural enrichment and new experiences are as much a part of your college experience as are your classes We report these activities annually to the NCTF Commission, so it is important to keep accurate records Service Project: In order to gain real experience with children and youth, we require a minimum of 30 service hours to be completed by the end of the Sophomore year These opportunities may include working with at-risk children, tutoring, assisting with academic affairs events and tournaments, participating in literacy projects, and working with Scholars/Teachers of Tomorrow Day/Reach to Teach Days, etc Field experience for college classes or paid positions cannot be counted as your service project To document your 30 hours of service, use the pink Service forms in our office These forms should be submitted to your director at the end of the semester Mentoring Early in Fall Semester, Sophomores should choose a faculty or public school mentor —preferably someone in your major teaching area Sophomores will receive special attention and support from this relationship, and they should work to establish a rapport with their mentor Documentation of collaboration with mentors should continue through both junior and senior years A minimum of two contacts per semester is required Forms for documentation purposes will be provided to you during the seminar Leadership Opportunities Leadership Council The role of the Leadership Council consists of suggesting field trip destinations, seminar topics, service project ideas, and recruitment initiatives Our Leadership Council acts as a sounding board for Teaching Fellow concerns Volunteers and Fellows who are nominated by each class will serve on the Council Leadership Council Roles and Responsibilities It is expected that all council chairs and co-chairs will be present at all regularly scheduled Leadership Council meetings These meetings occur every other week throughout the academic year In the event that a chair is unable to attend a meeting, it is his/her responsibility to identify and invite another council member to stand in as their representative during his/her absence It is appropriate for the cochair to assume this responsibility when the chair is absent However, if the co-chair is unable to be present, then another council member may attend in his/her place Occasionally a council chair or co-chair is unable to fulfill the requirement to attend Leadership Council meetings due to changes in their class schedules or personal circumstances When this occurs, an opportunity may be provided so that the chair and co-chair can step down from their roles Other individuals may then volunteer to fulfill the obligations previously held by the committee chair or co-chair During Leadership Meetings, chairs and co-chairs will report their committee findings to the other members (see descriptions of committee chair duties) Chairs and co-chairs are responsible for researching possible activities for their respective committees These may include (but are not limited to) the following: chairs and co-chairs are responsible for implementing and organizing projects, including being available on the day of the event or project, and are also expected to be hands-on, pro-active, and engaged leaders

utilize our budget wisely, we ask that Fellows who cancel after signing up to participate in paid events that are sponsored by the Teaching Fellows office be responsible for: • Finding a Teaching Fellow to replace them at the event, or • Reimbursing the Teaching Fellows Office for the expense which was incurred on their behalf In certain circumstances, Teaching Fellows may be allowed to invite a friend to Teaching Fellow sponsored events When transportation is provided by the Teaching Fellows Office, it is requested that the friend(s) meet us at the venue and pay their own expenses We wish to maintain the high quality and well earned respect that this program and its students have become known for throughout the region and state We want to ensure consistency and fairness among those Fellows who are enrolled in our program We recognize the importance of our work and we strive to be respectful of others’ time and energy given to supporting our program It takes everyone doing his or her part to make our program exemplary!
