The Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows program was jointly established by the Provost and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) in Fall 2016. The aim of the program is to strengthen teaching and learning in the colleges through an embedded system of ongoing instructional support and special initiatives. Twenty-five disciplinary faculty in the colleges were selected by their deans to partner with professionals in CTL, in order to promote environments where diverse learners can excel.

Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows serve a two year term and meet regularly throughout the academic year to engage in collegial discussion of topics related to teaching and learning at Georgia Tech. Together with their College cohorts, the Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows develop and pursue initiatives related to teaching and learning in their specific College. These initiatives are informed by discussions with key leaders in their college, and are intended to both raise the profile of teaching, and positively impact the overall learning environment.

All Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows receive an annual stipend and are expected to attend one teaching and learning conference during their two-year term.

Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows News

The fourth cohort of the Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows (PTLF) met in mid-August to kick off their 2022-2024 term together. A distinguishing feature for this cohort will be the themed faculty learning communities (FLCs) that they build and facilitate during their time as PTLFs. Each of the four groups will examine pedagogical topics critical at Georgia Tech. We will continue our work with anti-racist and inclusive pedagogy and success and assessment of online teaching and learning. We are also adding three new FLCs: Teaching as Inquiry, New Faculty Mentoring, and Teaching for Student Success.  The FLCs contain PTLFs from different disciplines in order to create a rich environment for learning and collaboration.  In addition, this structure allows PTLFs to distribute the knowledge built in their FLCs to faculty and TAs in their own Colleges.
