robert boice (<em>advice for new faculty<\/em>, 2000)  and others indicates that junior faculty often find teaching the most  challenging and time-consuming part of their jobs. this is why the cft  is dedicated to helping all junior faculty become quick starters by  offering an array of workshops, working groups, and consultation  opportunities, programs that can result in more successful and enjoyable  teaching experiences.<\/p>\n<p>primary among the cft&#8217;s junior faculty programs is the\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.imrbdigital.com\/programs\/jftf\/\"><strong>junior faculty teaching fellowship<\/strong><\/a>,  which provides its recipients with a more structured faculty  development experience complete with consultations, course design  seminar, peer education, and senior faculty mentorship. this program not  only helps its fellows develop an understanding of best teaching  practices across the disciplines, but also assists them in their  professional growth by helping them hone their abilities to balance  teaching and research, improve their materials for review, and build a  collaborative culture of teaching at vanderbilt. <strong>this year,  support from the school of nursing is allowing the cft to introduce a  discipline-specific cohort of teaching fellows to the jftf program.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>over the coming months, the cft newsletter will highlight the work  of this year&#8217;s junior faculty teaching fellows. each month two fellows  will be featured discussing their teaching philosophies and interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this year&#8217;s junior faculty teaching fellows are, left to right, gabriel briggs (english), courtney cook (nursing), larisa desantis
