CTL Faculty Fellows 23-24

CTL faculty fellows work in collaboration with each other and with CTL staff to research and respond to existing or emerging areas of concern (or interest!) related to teaching at the Claremont Colleges. By the end of the academic year, Fellows will have developed enduring resources to guide individual faculty and campus groups in addressing these issues.

This fellowship program extends the CTL’s mission of supporting lifelong learning and building a community of teachers who strengthen the culture of excellent and inclusive teaching at the CTL. It is an opportunity for teachers in the Claremont Community to show leadership and develop their expertise. Fellows can expect to dedicate about 20 hours per semester to the shared project, and will receive an honorarium from the CTL for their commitment. We hope to select a diverse group of Fellows from multiple disciplines and multiple campuses.

This semester, the CTL has a group of faculty fellows focusing on Beyond Course Evaluations.

In spring 2024, the CTL will bring together faculty from across the Claremont Colleges to research alternatives/additions to course evaluations. At the end of the academic year, fellows will share their findings in ways that will help inform institutional and individual faculty practice. This could take the form of a resource guide (e.g., a ‘how-to’ with bibliography), a presentation for tenure/promotion committees, and/or a live discussion, panel, or workshop.

Areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

• developing a training for RPTs/APTs for equitable, informed assessments of teaching
• developing a training for equitable, informed peer observation of teaching
• creating (and piloting) a 5C “teaching observation triad” program
• creating a “three voices” framework for assessing teaching
• developing a template for doable, effective faculty teaching portfolios
