Pedagogy Fellows

The Pedagogy Fellows Program is a professional development opportunity for experienced and creative graduate student teachers to collaborate with faculty, administration, and the Bok Center’s senior staff to enhance teaching in their disciplines and in the FAS more broadly.

    Building a Teaching Community

    Pedagogy Fellows share their experiences in the program and its impact on their own teaching

 

Pedagogy Fellows’ key duties include consulting with TFs, leading pedagogy seminars and workshops, and developing resources on teaching and professional development. Fellows gain the opportunity to grow in their own careers as teachers and scholars, and become more reflective about their disciplinary values and the ways in which they communicate with colleagues and students.

Pedagogy Fellows (PFs) are primarily responsible for developing and teaching their department’s pedagogy course, and for departments with no course, to work on developing one and/or otherwise supporting TF training in their home department or program. The Bok Center’s training prepares PFs to serve as liaisons between the Bok Center and their department/program, providing pedagogical support and guidance on topics related to teaching and professional development for graduate students.
