alt="Provost's Teaching Fellows"
The Fellows program empowers faculty to advance education in two ways: through individual initiatives that improve teaching and learning at UT, and through participation in campus-wide events that promote the quality of education and its status in the campus culture.
The Fellows are hard-working, forward-thinking, community-minded faculty committed to improving teaching practice and campus culture at UT Austin. The current cohort of 43 Fellows represents faculty of all rank, 13 Colleges and Schools, and a multiplicity of disciplines and unique perspectives. At present, 25 Teaching Fellows pursue individual initiatives, 18 Senior Fellows provide mentorship and guidance, and 11 Alumni Fellows remain active in the program. Collectively, Fellows spearhead events that benefit the entire campus, including the New Faculty Symposium, monthly Think Tanks where faculty discuss thorny issues in a safe and collaborative environment, and Eyes on Teaching.
Teaching Fellows undertake an individual initiative to improve teaching and learning in their own classroom, department, and/or college. They champion excellence in teaching and are ready to assist you in helping you maximize the learning experiences within your own classes.
Online Teaching Days was an opportunity for faculty to watch their colleagues teach, and to talk with each other about their teaching successes and struggles. This event took place July 22-23, 2020.
Second-year Teaching Fellows gather to share and celebrate their work on individual projects with the PTF community and its champions in a series of short presentations, which are given in "Pecha Kucha Lite" style.
Consistent with our mission and vision to enhance teaching and learning, current cohorts of Teaching Fellows developed projects designed to innovate their classrooms, departments, and colleges through a variety of methods. We continue to recruit instructors of all career stages from across the university.
