Leaders in Teaching and Learning

Leaders in Teaching and Learning

The Leaders in Teaching and Learning program develops faculty leaders to foster effective teaching within disciplinary units across campus. Leaders in Teaching and Learning serve a one year term and meet regularly throughout the academic year for professional development, community, and mentorship.

Leaders engage in professional development sessions, contribute to a teaching and learning initiative, interview a leader of teaching and learning in their own discipline, craft a leadership vision statement, and develop a short term action plan.

Leaders also receive funding to attend the University System of Georgia Teaching and Learning Conference.

 

Leadership Development

“Prior to joining the Leaders in Teaching and Learning, I hadn’t thought of myself as a leader per se, but through cross-disciplinary conversations and projects such as the informational interview, this program helped me embrace a broader role as a leader in teaching and learning.”

–Himani Sharma, senior lecturer in the School of Materials Science and Engineering
