Teaching Fellows Pedagogy Program

The Teaching Fellows Pedagogy Program aims to support Teaching Fellows in the development and extension of fundamental teaching competencies and in the reflection upon, and articulation of, student-centered approaches to teaching. Teaching Fellows will engage with the literature on teaching and learning through a cohort-style series of monthly discussions and workshops led by the CCTL. Fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in a half-day workshop focused on the preparation of a teaching portfolio for future use in their careers. Please see the full programming schedule below.
