Collective Fellowship application information: Faculty will propose a semester-long learning community for fellow faculty that is commensurate with the work of teaching a 3 credit class. These should align with the pillars noted on the TLC website, and the pillars we are highlighting this year are High Impact Teaching and Experiential Learning and Teaching with Emerging Technology. While we strongly encourage proposals that address these two pillars, we may consider particularly compelling and/or timely proposals related to one of the other two. Fellows will be compensated with a course release, and participants in learning communities will be compensated with a stipend.
Criteria for these fellowship projects include:
- Minimum of 5 sessions during the semester
- Executive summary of learning community goals, outcomes, and methods, along with a reading list, added to the TLC digital library
- Commitment to provide coaching to faculty members on the implementation of workshop content, and to be 鈥渃ampus expert鈥 on topic in future
- Commitment to design follow-up survey of faculty application of workshop content
- Participation in an event to share work with the wider university community (to be scheduled regularly in Jan for fall learning communities, and in late May for spring)
- If pedagogically feasible, some sessions can be filmed, with video file stored in TLC digital library
To apply for a Collective Fellowship you will provide the following:
- A 1-2 page description of the relevance and viability of your learning community
- Number of participants you wish to include (we encourage 10 or fewer)
- A syllabus with course meetings, sample readings, and assignments
- A bibliography of significant and related scholarship
- Learning goals
- Concrete outcomes for participants
- Plan for effectively sharing work with the university community
Application deadline is July 17. Proposals will be evaluated on clarity, feasibility, institutional needs, and scale. Two proposals will be chosen for Fall of 2026.
