Overview
of the Educational Scholars Fellowship Program
|
|
|
|
| The
format of the Educational Scholars Fellowship
Program
(ESFP), formerly known as the Master Teachers' Fellowship
Program (MTFP) has been remodeled to take advantage
of expanded educator
development
opportunities
at
Baylor. |
|
| What's
the purpose of the ESFP? |
|
The
primary aim of the ESFP
is to enhance the educational mission of the College
by improving the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
of individual faculty. Thus, empowering them to make
a positive contribution to the college and their department.
Specifically, the fellowship is designed to increase
fellows':
Knowledge of
key educational principles and theories.
Skills
in
lecturing, facilitating, designing, and evaluating.
Interest
in and ability to serve as an educational leader.
Self-reflection and readiness to benefit from
constructive feedback from learners and peers

| What
is the format of the Fellowship? |
|
Kickoff: The
first month of the ESFP will consist of weekly sessions
designed to help members of the class build collaborative
relationships and a conceptual foundation for the
remainder
of the fellowship. The kickoff starts with an all-day
retreat followed by four weekly three-hour sessions.
Workshops and mini-fellowships: Fellows
will be required to attend over a two-year period 24
hours of educator development workshops and mini-fellowships
offered at Baylor, UT-Houston, UT Dental or
at regional or national conferences. They will be
able
to select sessions which match their schedules and
their interests.
Topical Discussions: Once a month,
members of the ESFP class will meet to discuss with
an expert in the area specific topics (i.e., educational
pedagogue, evaluation, research).
Independent Projects: Fellows
will be required to complete, primarily during the second
year of the fellowship, an educational project that
involves application of educational principles to address
a meaningful educational problem. |
| |
|
|
| What
time commitment does it require? |
|
A
new class of Fellows will be selected and initiated
every two years. The Fellowship extends for 24
months, starting in September. During this time,
Fellows are expected to commit at least 6
hours per month to
prepare for and attend Friday afternoon sessions
and to work on their independent projects. They
must also include time for Committee for Educator
Development (CED) workshops and mini-fellowships.
Fellows should be prepared to make a 10% time
commitment.
