AAPT eMentoring: A Benefit for AAPT Members (Not a member? Join here).

The AAPT eMentoring Program is designed to connect AAPT members of the K-12 physics educator community with each other. eMentoring allows mentors to provide virtual support to mentees through e-mail, phone, and video communication. Mentors and mentees often find that they benefit mutually from building a relationship with their colleagues from around the nation.

 

How does it work? More experienced educators (mentors) are connected with one or more novice educators (mentees). Mentors and mentees both register and provide information about their teaching background and preparation. Upon registration of a mentee, the program identifies potential mentors with similar backgrounds. The mentee's profile is provided to the potential mentors, who may opt-in to support the mentee. The mentee then is provided the list of willing mentors, and selects one mentor for pairing. Mentors and mentees are then encouraged to reach out to one another and begin learning about each other.
