Overview
of the Master Teacher's Fellowship Program
|
|
|
|
| The
format of 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 MTFP? |
|
The
primary aim of the MTFP 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 MTFP 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 three weekly three-hour workshops.
Workshops and mini-fellowships: Fellows
will be required to attend over a two-year period a
certain number of educator development workshops and
mini-fellowships offered at Baylor, UT-Houston, or at
regional or national conferences. They will be able
to select sessions which match their schedules and their
interests.
Topical Discussions: Approximately
once a month, members of the MTFP class will meet to
discuss specific topics (i.e., content from recent workshops
or mini-fellowships) and apply key concepts to solve
real-world problems via case studies and/or role play
simulations.
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. Each class will negotiate as a group,
the full length of the fellowship between 15 and 24
months, depending on the frequency within which they
choose to meet and the pace at which they want to complete
their independent projects.
Fellows should be prepared to make a 10%-20% time commitment.

In some cases, teaching fellows may also be considered. |
