The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) Faculty Fellows support Bryant's mission of Academic Excellence by increasing the capacity of the CTE to carry out existing and expanded activities while engaging in professional development in collaboration with faculty colleagues.
Program Goals
Faculty Fellows engage in a variety of activities, including:
- Developing and delivering workshops to faculty on topics that are of interdisciplinary pedagogical interest, such as innovative teaching strategies and methods, approaches to assessment, student engagement techniques, collaborative learning, etc. These can include short “brown bag” presentations on pedagogy or longer hands-on sessions.
- Through regular activities such as peer mentorship, classroom observations, reading groups, learning communities etc., provide leadership and community building among faculty colleagues, and assist with the dissemination of best practices for teaching across all Bryant programs.
- Regular meetings with other CTE Fellows and the CTE Director to collaboratively plan and execute programs and initiatives in support of teaching excellence among all Bryant faculty.
- Actively participate in events such as the Teaching Forums and the Annual Spring Teaching Summit.
- Serve as ambassadors to their departments and affiliations on campus to encourage attendance at and participate in CTE programming
- Build a community of faculty members who collaborate to advance their own teaching and to mentor other colleagues exploring or refining their pedagogical approaches.
