The Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center is seeking applications for the Fall 2012/Spring 2013 cohort of the elite TEACH (Teaching Effectiveness And Career enHancement) Program.
Applicants should be Ph.D. students with official teaching appointments for both the fall and spring semesters of the 2012-2013 academic year. And yes… TEACH fellows who actively participate in the TEACH Program do receive a $500 stipend per semester. Program activities include workshop attendance, videotaped teaching observation, student evaluations, peer observations, completion of a professional teaching portfolio and teaching and learning project, and work with individual consultants. Through these experiences in the TEACH Program, fellows can expect to identify and apply new instructional strategies to improve student learning in his/her courses; acquire knowledge, develop skills, and prepare documents to facilitate the transition to a career in academia; and develop relationships with university faculty, staff, and peers to maintain a spirit of collegiality in the pursuit of professional development. Former TEACH Fellows have met with success on the job market, and exceptional TEACH Fellows might have the opportunity to teach with the TTU Honors College.
