fellow this academic year has been extremely helpful and enjoyable for me.\u00a0 most of all, the fellowship has helped me regularly set aside time to sit with other junior faculty, cft staff, and senior faculty to reflect on my teaching philosophy and practices.\u00a0 these conversations across academic disciplines are fun and useful, and i\u2019m struck by how much we have in common as teachers, even though our research diverges quite dramatically.\u00a0 classroom visits, consultations with the great cft staff, and syllabus workshops with staff and peers have improved my teaching in the short-term, most certainly.\u00a0 i always walk out of these gatherings with new approaches or strategies that i can try right away in my classroom, and these small changes have yielded serious improvements for my students and me.\u00a0 but, i\u2019ve also been able to think long-term about how i might transform my current repertoire of classes by incorporating experiential or service-learning components, group work, and new kinds of source materials.\u00a0 finally, the support from my peers and joe bandy in our syllabus workshop helped me design a new graduate seminar and develop more confidence as a teacher of a core course in political theory, my discipline.\u00a0 my experiences as a jftf have improved my teaching in tangible ways this year, and i am walking out with a store of new ideas to try in years to come.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>please join us. <strong>we ask that you\u00a0<a
