Collaborative Teaching
Collaborative teaching provides important faculty development opportunities and enriches the curriculum, especially in interdisciplinary fields. We can support up to three new collaborative teaching proposals for 2024-25. The Faculty Curriculum Planning Committee (FCPC) will review the proposals and select those to be supported.
Proposals for new projects should be submitted by February 9, 2024. Please complete the Propose a New Course or Revise a Course form (available on the Registrar’s website). In addition, please send a brief memo with the following information to Associate Provost David Liben-Nowell:
- an explanation of the pedagogical benefits of collaborative teaching in this particular case,
- if relevant, how the proposed collaborative teaching will contribute to faculty development for those involved,
- for team-teaching proposals, how teaching credit will be allocated (full 6-credit course credit for each faculty member, partial course credit, etc.),
- if this is envisioned as an ongoing course, how it will be sustained in the future.
The Faculty Curriculum Planning Committee (FCPC) will review the proposals and select those to be supported.
Priority will be given to proposals that entail pedagogical benefits not otherwise available, e.g., especially in interdisciplinary work, and that offer significant faculty development potential. Note that where appropriate, support for team-teaching will include support to replace the course(s) that faculty team-teaching will not be offering.
Please note that Associate Provost Liben-Nowell or Provost Michelle Mattson would be happy to consult with you at any time about collaborative teaching opportunities.
