Fall Teaching Week
Fall Teaching Week 2026
In Fall 2026, all Teaching Fellows and Teaching Assistants who are teaching in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences are required to attend 2 hours of training provided by the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning.
- For TFs and TAs new to teaching in the FAS: Pedagogy in Practice, Teaching Fundamentals Training
- For TFs and TAs returning to teaching in the FAS: Two workshops as part of Fall Teaching Week
The Bok Center's Fall Teaching Week offers experienced TFs and TAs the opportunity to explore key topics in teaching and learning, build community and connection, and share experiences and advice with peers across disciplines. In addition to helping you become a stronger teacher, Fall Teaching Week will give you greater confidence for the academic year ahead.
In Fall 2026, Fall Teaching Week will be held from Wednesday, August 26 through Tuesday, September 1.
Harvard University welcomes individuals with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you would like to request accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact bokcenter@fas.harvard.edu in advance of your participation. Requests for American Sign Language interpreters and/or CART providers should be made at least two weeks in advance, if possible.
