    The Teaching Innovation Fellow Program allows faculty who would like to share an evidence-based teaching practice with the Park community the flexibility to develop one on-demand module focused on this practice. All interested faculty (full-time, adjunct, distance, etc.) are invited to apply.

     

    Two Teaching Fellows will be selected each spring to serve during the following academic year. Fellows will participate in a design sprint and receive support from the FCI Team to create content for their module. Additionally, each Fellow will lead two live sessions and participate in the Fellows Share Out so the Park community has the opportunity to discuss the Fellow's teaching practice/module.
