The Poorvu Center strives to support faculty teaching excellence, reflection, and the use of the educational literature and equitable teaching practices through funding opportunities and program offerings. Throughout our programming, we emphasize interdisciplinary discussion among faculty. Faculty engage with us in a variety of ways, including individual workshops and discussions, longer-term teaching communities, and an intensive summer institute for designing or redesigning a course. We also provide programs specific to a department or school upon request and in consultation with the partnering group. Please email faculty.teaching@yale.edu [1] for more information or to request a customized program.
We particularly encourage new faculty to explore our resources as they learn about Yale’s teaching culture, design courses, and meet faculty across the university. The Faculty Teaching Academy [2] provides a $3000 professional development fund for Yale College instructors who begin the program within their first three years at Yale and complete the program requirements within two years.
We invite suggestions or feedback by email (faculty.teaching@yale.edu [1]). FAS instructors seeking professional development outside the scope of the Poorvu Center can consider opportunities through Scholars as Leaders; Scholars as Learners (SAL2) [3].
