The Knighted Faculty Program is a two-semester-long cohort (Fall and Spring) designed to provide interested faculty members with more in-depth training in the science of learning, integrated course design, assessment and feedback, teaching methods,  and classroom management.

The program includes an asynchronous online course, participation in semester-long Teaching Squares (peer observations), monthly zoom meetings, and an in-person Knighting ceremony. The final deliverable will be a new or significantly upgraded learning module and a revised teaching statement, both reflecting an advanced understanding of program principles.

The program is open to full-time instructional faculty (teaching SCHs) from any discipline. Participants should commit to attending three meetings each semester via Zoom. The fall meetings will be 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Tuesdays, Sep 12, Oct 17, and Nov 14. For the spring meetings, we’ll survey the cohort to create a schedule that fits everyone’s needs.

Registration will open in summer 2024.
