- W332488765 abstract "While I walked across campus on my first day of work as new faculty member at community college, I was greeted by several members of the faculty and my supervisor. They graciously helped me locate and arrange my office, showed me around campus, and introduced me to many new people, including students. As the first day of class approached, one of the faculty members in my department helped me plan for the first college course I would be teaching. I learned how to prepare course syllabus, access required textbooks from the bookstore, and use classroom technology. I did not ask for help; it was just offered. Throughout the semester I tried teaching strategies included in the book given to me by my supervisor. Some worked and others did not, but it was exciting to try so many new things. A member of the faculty offered to accompany me to the first faculty meeting and explain meeting protocol. ! was nervous. After the meeting, several faculty members approached me to discuss our similar interests in student success, and I learned about retention study being conducted at the college. I even was asked to participate in the project! 1 ended up contributing to the project during the spring semester and as result, co-authored my first scholarly publication. It was great first year as community college faculty member. I have learned so much about my students and my role in facilitating their success. Because of my colleagues, I feel connected- like I am part of the community college family. I could stay in this job forever! The fictitious experience may or may not reflect the culture experienced by faculty new to the community college environment. However, the story reflects culture where mentoring is shared value of faculty and administration. The community uses mentoring as strategy for socializing new members to the faculty role. As newly-hired faculty establish relationships with colleagues and learn the practices and beliefs of the group, they become embedded members of the community. Embeddedness can reduce an employee's intent to leave or actual leaving (Mitchell, Holtom, Lee, Sablynski, & Erez, 2001). Thus, establishing culture that includes faculty mentoring can be beneficial to the success of community college. Conceptualizing the culture In order to effectively infuse mentoring into the culture of community college, it is important to understand the concept and associated terminology. Despite an abundance of published literature, single definition of mentoring, recognized across all disciplines, does not exist. Roberts (2000) uses phenomenological approach to identify common themes among the various published definitions and consolidates comprehensive definition of the concept. According to Roberts, mentoring is a formalized process whereby more knowledgeable and experienced person actuates supportive role of overseeing and encouraging reflection and learning within less experienced and knowledgeable person, so as to facilitate that person's career and personal (p. 162). Using his definition, it becomes apparent that in community college setting, faculty more knowledgeable about the practices and policies of the educational community can assume supportive role in the development of such knowledge in newly-hired faculty. Just as the literature reflects multiple definitions of mentoring, it also includes variety of models, frameworks, and schemes used in disciplines such as education (Holloway, 2001; Kajs, 2002; Kunselman, Hensley, & Tewksbury, 2003), nursing (Andrews & Wallis, 1999; Thorpe & Kalischuk, 2003), and science and engineering (Kasprisin, Single, Single, & Muller, 2003). Literature reviews (Kajs, 2002; Kunselman et al., 2003), Kolb's theory of experiential learning, Knowle's adult learning principles (McKinley, 2004), and career development theories (Perna, Lerner, & Yura, 1995) have served as the foundation for the various approaches. …" @default.
