2005-06 Madison Teaching Fellows: Multicultural Teaching and Learning

 

Madison Teaching Fellows- Multicultural Teaching & Learning

Description:

This MTF group will explore ways to actualize, through beliefs, curriculum, and instructional practices, a philosophy of appreciation of culture in university courses. How can we make the classroom an effective learning environment for all students and not only embrace, but effectively integrate, diverse perspectives? Fellows will identify ways to frame the issue, develop goals, research the issues and develop materials for dissemination.

Expectations:

* Meet at least twice each month for group discussion or research. During the Fall semester, at least one of the meetings will be held on a Thursday each month from 12:30-2:30pm. Meeting times for the Spring semester will be determined.
* Conduct two sessions of a 90-minute workshop, one on April 27 and one on April 28. The workshop will be a part of CFI's Faculty Workshop Series and will be designed to share findings and recommendations for other faculty.
* Submit findings for presentation at a conference and/or for publication in a scholarly publication.
* Post findings on a website.

Benefits:

* $500 stipend
* Monthly lunches
* Book or other resources
* Yearly spring symposium
