The Teaching Innovation Fellows program, sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty at Williams College, is designed to inspire and support established faculty as they pursue new and creative pedagogical approaches. The initiative encourages tenured and senior faculty to develop brand new or substantially revised courses, particularly those fostering innovative teaching methods, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and exploration of emerging areas of study. The program aims to help faculty overcome institutional and curricular constraints, reconnecting them with their core teaching aspirations. Courses developed through this fellowship are expected to have lasting curricular impact, promote interdisciplinary thinking, and may incorporate experiential learning, sustainability, or digital technologies.
