Teaching Fellows

 

The American Association of Philosophy Teachers selects devoted, excellent philosophy teachers to serve as Teaching Fellows. The Fellows receive a small stipend and serve a two-year term. Their task is to advance the teaching of philosophy. This may include mentoring newer teachers, blogging on the AAPT website, facilitating teaching and learning workshops, or other activities.  Fellows will be offered featured spots at the AAPT conference at the end of their term to report on their ventures and enthuse the rest of us. Nominations are sought in the winter (even calendar years) prior to an AAPT conference. We encourage self-nominations and nominations of those who have inspired you.
