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.


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. Please note that the University will make every effort to secure services, but that services are subject to availability.
