Teaching Fellows Program
DESCRIPTION
The goal of the Generative AI Teaching Fellowship is to enhance teaching innovation and teaching quality at Western by bringing together a cohort of outstanding educators. Each of the Fellows develops, implements, and assesses the impact of a unique teaching innovation. They also support educational excellence within their own Faculties by mentoring colleagues, coordinating workshops, facilitating learning communities, and/or providing other instructional development opportunities.
To achieve these outcomes, the Fellows receive a two-year secondment, funding to conduct their teaching innovations, and support from educational developers in the Centre for Teaching and Learning.
