TEK now accepting applications for second cohort of Faculty Fellows

Transdisciplinary Educational approaches to advance Kentucky (TEK), is now accepting applications for the second cohort of its Faculty Fellows program. The program is designed to support faculty at the University of Kentucky 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 our students’ access to transdisciplinary educational approaches for the development of transferable skills.

TEK Faculty Fellows develop courses that focus on transdisciplinary and employability skills

This fall, the TEK Faculty Fellows are participating in faculty learning communities facilitated by the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT). Through regular small group meetings, faculty explore approaches to transdisciplinary curricular and instructional approaches, including community partnerships, team teaching, assignment design and inquiry-based learning. Over the course of the academic year, TEK Faculty Fellows will work on their courses collaboratively, share ideas and feedback and continue to support each other as they teach their new and revised courses in the spring.
