Description
|
Each college at North
Carolina State University was asked to identify graduate
students they felt have demonstrated an interest in
promoting excellence in teaching and learning to serve as
fellows for the Hewlett Initiative. The Hewlett Graduate
Student Fellows participate in a variety of professional
development activities related to teaching and learning. In
addition, the fellows attend seminars and retreats lead by
nationally known educators.
Specifically, NC State's
Hewlett initiative seeks to form cadre of faculty highly
skilled in and committed to inquiry-guided instruction who
can teach and mentor other faculty in these methods. The
program also seeks to introduce graduate teaching assistants
to these techniques so that they can improve their classroom
instruction now, participate in the campus discussion to
shape evolution of general education curriculum, and bring
these perspectives to bear in their future careers in
industry, government, liberal arts colleges and research
universities.
Graduate students'
commitments to the program include teaching as a long-term
career goal and involvement in teaching at NC State,
participating in campus discussions and actively serving on
one workgroup that considers, in-depth, one teaching and
learning issue, and undertaking and documenting one
professional activity related to the Hewlett
Initiative.
