Teaching Scholars program participants participate in several of the AMES/OMSE FID Series seminars and related Teaching Scholars workshops. The FID Series seminars are offered from August through May and conducted by UA COM faculty and education professionals (see Program Faculty).
The AMES/OMSE FID Series seminars are open to all faculty from all AHSC colleges and provide an opportunity for Teaching Scholars participants to interact with and learn from colleagues. Teaching Scholars workshops are held during the hour following FID Series seminars, unless the participants and Director determine another mutually available date and time. Each interactive workshop focuses on developing skills necessary to design, implement and report the Commitment to Change Projects. Additional guidance may be provided for participants' development of Educator Portfolios.
All FID Series seminars are video recorded and available for those who cannot attend a seminar.
