Pedagogy Fellows Program
The Pedagogy Fellows Program (PFP) for faculty and instructors supports UChicago academics in developing, extending, and revising fundamental teaching competencies. Selected faculty and instructors form a cohort of Fellows of the CCTL and engage in a series of practice-oriented workshops organized around peer-to-peer discussions, along with classroom observation and formative feedback provided by both other Fellows and CCTL pedagogy specialists. In parallel and in conversation with these activities, Fellows design (or revise) a course syllabus, sharing and discussing key elements as part of the workshops along the way. The PFP draws on the experiences and reflections of program participants, facilitating the sharing of ideas and strategies with colleagues from across the curriculum, and informing these conversations with insights from the literature on teaching and learning. Newer faculty and instructors benefit from the support and insights generated by the pedagogical community of practice, while more experienced instructors benefit from the opportunity to reflect on their approach and share experiences and insights with colleagues from across the University.
Faculty and instructors who complete the program receive $1000 in professional development funds to capitalize on the new pedagogical insights cultivated by the experience. Those who complete the PFP have the option to apply to be an Associate Pedagogy Fellow, affiliating with the Center for an additional year by providing mentorship to the year’s cohort of Pedagogy Fellows and engaging in other activities to advance the work of the Center.
