Early Career Program

The Early Career Teaching Program is designed to assist faculty members and instructional staff early in their careers to develop and enhance their teaching skills and establish a foundation for a lifetime of creative and engaging teaching. Participants attend monthly workshops facilitated by master teachers at the U who will model and teach about a variety of effective pedagogical styles and methods. Participants also work one-to-one and in interdisciplinary small groups with one of the resource teachers (RTs), chosen because of their recognition as superior classroom teachers and their commitment to mentoring others.

Mid-Career Faculty Women's Community

Mid-career women faculty are uniquely positioned to explore innovations in teaching and learning within their respective disciplines and within the context of new initiatives at University of Minnesota. The Mid-Career Faculty Women's Community will bring together associate and full professors from across disciplines to provide structure and support to faculty exploring new methods related to their teaching practice.

Mid-Career Teaching Community

The Mid-Career Teaching Community will bring together faculty from multiple disciplines interested in exchanging ideas and exploring current challenges in university teaching. This community will draw upon the experiences of participants in addition to research on the scholarship of teaching and learning and emergent research from evidence-based pedagogy. The specific topics for this teaching community will be determined by the participants using a consensus process at the start of the year.

Multicultural Teaching and Learning Fellowship

The Multicultural Teaching and Learning Fellowships aim to support a wide range of multicultural teaching and learning projects – from those in incubation stages (thinking, researching, talking, reflecting) to those with ideas, materials, and analyses nearly ready to be shared with a range of academic and community groups.

Spring and Fall Teaching Seminars

Teaching seminars are semester-long, small-group, facilitated discussions that explore, in depth, a particular aspect of teaching. Participants are faculty and instructional staff who teach on the Twin Cities campus.
