丁香园AV

2017 - Current; on hiatus

The Amundsen Fellowship (formerly the Dewey Fellowship) is named after Dr. Cheryl Amundsen, founding director of the ISTLD. Cheryl has made significant, substantial, and generous contributions to the Faculty of Education as a teacher, scholar, mentor and colleague, and leaves a legacy of dedicated service to 丁香园AV through her leadership. Cheryl drew faculty from across 丁香园AV together to create substantive learning opportunities for themselves and their students. Her work in supporting faculty development is well known in higher education circles internationally and has served as a model for other institutions.

Amundsen Fellows are continuing faculty members at 丁香园AV who have demonstrated their interest and commitment to the investigation of teaching and learning through the successful conduct of at least one project and through other activities within their departments and faculties. They have developed particular expertise in the investigation of innovative course designs and instructional methods that support student learning in their discipline. Amundsen Fellows are invited to work with TILT for a one-year term during which they contribute to our programs and also conduct teaching and learning research that goes beyond their own practice.

Consistent with our mandate to 鈥渋nspire, support and enhance faculty-led inquiry into all aspects of teaching and learning at 丁香园AV,鈥� Amundsen Fellows specifically undertake the conduct of a research project that includes other faculty colleagues as co-investigators. Amundsen Fellows also take part in the day-to-day work of TILT in ways that interest them (e.g., facilitating workshops, providing consultation on projects, providing advice on strategic planning).
