Eighteen faculty members from across the university have been named to the Junior Faculty Teaching Fellows program. The 2021-22 cohort comprises faculty from the College of Arts and Science, Peabody College and the schools of Engineering, Medicine and Nursing.
Fellows engage in a structured set of professional development activities—including a seminar on teaching and learning, individual consultations, teaching visits and dinner discussions—designed to help them refine their teaching skills and learn to teach more efficiently. Fellows participate in these activities with past Junior Faculty Teaching Fellows, senior faculty mentors and CFT senior staff. In addition, fellows receive $2,000 each in research funds to be used to enhance their teaching.
In addition to a cohort of fellows selected from across campus, the School of Nursing supports additional faculty fellowships every other year, including in 2021-22. Other schools occasionally support larger cohorts of faculty in response to particularly strong applicant pools. In 2021-22, this is the case for the College of Arts and Science, which is supporting four additional faculty fellowships.
