CTLM Teaching Fellows

The CTLM Teaching Fellows program offers a welcoming space where you can explore, refine, and reflect on your pedagogical practice. It’s tailored to the interests and needs of instructors in academic staff positions.

In the company of peers and experienced CTLM facilitators, you will discuss day-to-day teaching challenges and evidence-based principles for deepening learning in student-centered environments.

This learning community consists of cohorts of up to 15 instructors who meet every other week over the course of a semester. Some cohorts will meet in-person and some will be fully virtual.

What is a learning community?

Learning communities provide opportunities for connection and structured learning experiences for small cohorts of participants. Cohorts meet regularly over the course of a semester or a year, with one or more facilitators who support participants in reaching their goals and learning together. (For more detail, please see Cox, M.D., and McDonald, J. (2017))
