25-26 TEK Faculty Fellows Call for Applications Now Available
Transdisciplinary Educational approaches to advance Kentucky (TEK) has released the application for the third cohort of its Faculty Fellows program. The program is designed to support faculty in developing new transdisciplinary courses and teaching existing courses with a more explicit focus on essential employability skills. The overall goal of TEK is to expand students’ access to transdisciplinary educational approaches for the development of transferable skills.
A transdisciplinary approach involves diverse teams that share a conceptual framework to identify questions and address 21st century problems. Together, people from various backgrounds and with different experiences answer big questions, each bringing their informed and unique perspective. This approach is collaborative, leverages a wide range of campus expertise and includes alumni and other community-based and workforce experts throughout every phase of a process.
Faculty Learning Communities have been established for TEK Faculty Fellows to support faculty professional development. The program aims to build cohorts of faculty, representing a wide range of disciplines in teaching and learning environments at UK, who are interested in creating transdisciplinary experiences for students.
