Coordinator Position Description
The eMentor Coordinator has general oversight of the AAPT eMentor program:
- Each day, check the AAPT eMentoring website for alerts to see if a new mentee has registered, chosen their eMentor, or potential eMentors have accepted or declined an invitation to mentor a new mentee.
- When a new mentee registers, check that they are actively teaching physics in a U.S. high school, and, if so, select up to six potential AAPT eMentors to invite as their eMentor.
- When a new mentee registers, check that they are actively teaching physics in a U.S. high school, and, if so, select up to six potential AAPT eMentors to invite as their eMentor.
- Send a welcome message to the mentee advising them they should be able to choose their eMentor in a week, follow up with names of potential eMentors, and send reminders until one has been selected. Move mentees to “inactive” status if an eMentor is never selected.
- Keep records about actions take or need to be taken by mentors, mentees, and/or the coordinator.
- At least every other month, prepare an eMentoring Program Status Updates and email to AAPT Executive Officer (and other AAPT staff members) and the eMentoring Program Advisory Committee.
- Correspond with AAPT Staff about desired changes to the eMentoring website.
- Review new eMentor credentials to make sure the AAPT member has taught physics in high school.
- Oversee the evaluation of the program, specifically, the distribution of surveys to both mentors and mentees.
- Make recommendations about improvements to the program.
- Other duties related to the eMentor program as negotiated with the Executive Officer.
