A maximum of 12 course-contracted faculty members will be selected. Participants who attend and complete all seven workshop sessions and the e-learning activities will receive a $500 stipend and certificate.

Program objectives

During the Teaching Fellows program, you will engage in research-based practices, strategies, and tools grounded in the Lasallian tradition of excellence in learning-centered teaching. Through this series, you will:

  • Expand your teaching repertoire to promote excellence in teaching and learning.
  • Be part of a collaborative community of faculty members from a variety of disciplines.
  • Become qualified to facilitate future CELT events.

  2. Selected participants must be available to virtually attend all seven 3-hour workshops.
  3. Currently use Canvas or a willingness to complete a Canvas Essentials Training before the start of the program. Teaching Fellows will use Canvas throughout the sessions and are expected to have completed Saint Mary’s Canvas Training and/or actively use Canvas as a course management tool in their teaching.
  4. Commitment to professional growth and applying the learning. Participants will complete a teaching portfolio on Canvas demonstrating their applied learning.
  5. Willingness to facilitate future faculty development offerings. The program develops individual faculty members as both teachers and leaders. Teaching Fellows will be invited to share their learning and expertise with other faculty.
  6. Program director approval. As part of the selection process, the applicant’s program director needs to review the application and provide approval.
  7. Balance among SGPP, disciplines, and degree level. Representation from all schools and across disciplines and degree levels is sought in the final selection.
