Description
The Teaching Innovation Fellows program, administered by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty at Williams College, is designed to inspire and support established faculty as they pursue innovative approaches to teaching. This initiative encourages the development of new courses, substantial revision of existing offerings, and exploration of creative pedagogies that may not easily fit within the current curriculum. The program aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, integration of experiential learning, and curricular innovation with lasting value for the college community. Special emphasis is placed on projects that cross disciplinary boundaries, incorporate new technologies, or engage with community and sustainability themes.
