Make an appointment to meet with the instructor by March 8, by telephone or email to review the SUNY Erie course outline and help them develop their SUNY ERIE course syllabus. Make sure they follow the NEW SUNY ERIE Syllabus format. Review the NEW syllabus format with your High School Teacher. Make sure the ILO’s are listed correctly and have them submit a new syllabus to you and file it with your Department Chair and the Advanced Studies Office. Schedule a site visit once per course. Complete the Site Visit Form and return a copy to the Advanced Studies Office and one copy to your Department Chair along with the SUNY Erie syllabus. Share tests and discuss textbooks and other materials required for the course. Discuss the SUNY Erie grading system and how and when to submit the grades to you as Lead Teacher. Lead Teachers are responsible to input the grades into Web Advisor. I suggest they email you their SUNY Erie class roster with ID numbers and grades. Require a capstone assessment to be used in the high school which is the same as the one used on campus. Offer field trips to SUNY Erie or offer to be a guest lecturer in the classroom.
