Call for Applications Now Open for Fall 2026 Cohort

Laney Graduate School invites faculty to apply for the inaugural Teaching Triad Faculty Fellowship, a new initiative designed to strengthen graduate education through collaborative teaching, shared mentorship, and cross-disciplinary engagement. The Fall 2026 fellowship will bring together faculty committed to advancing innovative pedagogies and enriching the academic experience of Laney students.

Based on the widely lauded Teaching Squares model (Friedman et al, 2022) that emphasizes reciprocity and self-reflection, this program is the first of its kind at Emory. Fellowship participants will gain insight into a broad range of teaching practices by accessing a resource bank of evidence-based teaching and observation methods and by engaging in an observer-as-learner approach to peer teaching observation.

  5. Small monetary support ($500) to recognize your efforts
