SUMMARY:Building Mentoring Skills for an Academic Career
DESCRIPTION:In this series of lunchtime workshops for graduate students and postdocs offered by CIRTL at Cornell\, you will develop essential research mentoring skills\, particularly in disciplines where research is conducted collaboratively in a laboratory or field setting. Effective mentoring of students is a key skill influencing everything from research productivity to personal satisfaction. Learn best practices for mentoring undergraduate\, graduate\, and postdoctoral researchers\, and develop planning and communication skills needed to lead a research team. \nAll sessions will be practical in nature and feature short pre-readings or videos\, case studies or discussion with panelists\, and self-assessments to help identify your strengths and desired areas for improvement. \nInterested participants should apply prior to the start of the series with the expectation of attending all workshops. Program completion certificates will be provided for fully participating in at least 4 of 5 sessions. \nAll sessions are on Tuesdays from 12:00-2:00 pm and include catered lunch. Registered participants will receive location details for each session. \nSchedule of Topics for Spring 2019\nFebruary 5\, 2019 – What Makes a Good Mentor and Mentee? Exploring Learning\, Motivation\, and Values\nUnderstand key principles of learning and theories of motivation that can help you build a strong research group\, and even learn more about yourself and values you wish to communicate to mentees. \nFebruary 19\, 2019 – Aligning Expectations and Guiding Doable Projects\nHow do you design a doable project with a defined timespan for a relative novice in your discipline? Learn how to set expectations for mentor and mentee to make sure the project and relationship stay on track. \nMarch 5\, 2019 – Creating Inclusive Research Settings\nCreate and sustain a research group and academic climate in which each individual feels safe and supported. We will discuss how to create a welcoming environment for groups typically underrepresented in higher education\, while reflecting on our own identities and experiences and how they may be strengths or blind spots in our mentoring. \nMarch 19\, 2019 – Handling Tricky Mentoring Situations\nLearn how to address some of the trickiest situations you might encounter when mentoring undergraduate researchers or graduate students\, from modeling appropriate research ethics to sharing co-advised students. We will also discuss how you might solicit feedback and turn around projects that aren’t going as planned (from the mentor’s perspective). \nApril 9\, 2019 – Supporting Mentees’ Professional Development: Helping them Present and Publish\, and Writing Fair Letters of Recommendation\nRevisit some key ideas about effective communication to introduce your students to writing about and presenting their work. Learn how to write a fair letter of recommendation\, and what not to say. \nQuestions? \nContact Colleen McLinn\, CIRTL at Cornell Director\, cirtl@cornell.edu or 607-255-2030. \nSponsored by the Center for the Integration of Research\, Teaching\, and Learning (CIRTL at Cornell)

SUMMARY:NCFDD Webinar: How to Craft and Submit a Winning Book Proposal in 4 Weeks
DESCRIPTION:As you make plans to engage in future faculty development programming this semester\, please make sure to check out the set of upcoming webinars being offered by the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD). To access these webinars\, first activate your free\, Cornell-sponsored NCFDD membership via the following link: https://www.facultydiversity.org/institutions/cornell-university \nSession Description:\nYou may have a completed dissertation\, a few rough book chapters\, or even journal articles you’d like to transform into a coherent book project—but where do you start? The path to getting your book published begins with a good proposal. In this multi-week course\, you will be guided through a step-by-step process to complete your book proposal within four weeks\, learn how to translate your research projects for a broader market\, and receive invaluable advice about how to approach acquisition editors at academic presses. \nWhat faculty members are saying about this course: \n“Last summer I participated in Badia’s multi-week course on writing book proposals. This week\, I am negotiating with two university presses\, each of which offered a contract to my co-editor and I for our edited volume. (One press even offered an advance—for an edited volume!!) I could not have reached this point in the process so readily (and to be honest\, following your advice\, it felt easy) without your guidance. Thank you so much!” \nNOTE: This is a four week course\, meeting: March 19\, March 26\, April 2\, and April 9 \nMore information on free resources for Cornell graduate students
