The ACE Teaching Fellows Program is a competitive professional development opportunity for early-career PhD students in the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences at UC Santa Cruz. Fellows receive intensive training and hands-on experience in evidence-based teaching, active learning, and inclusive pedagogy while serving as teaching assistants in high-enrollment introductory STEM courses.
Through mentorship, classroom observations, peer learning, and teaching portfolio development, Fellows gain valuable skills in curriculum design, facilitation, assessment, and student-centered instruction. The program is designed for graduate students interested in academic careers, education, science communication, or leadership roles in scientific organizations.
Participants complete a two-quarter sequence that combines pedagogy training, teaching practice, mentorship, and reflective portfolio development. Upon successful completion, Fellows receive a Certificate of Achievement, access to a professional network of educators, and the opportunity to earn a letter of recommendation based on their work in the program.
Please be prepared to upload the following documents:
• Personal Statement
• Inclusive Pedagogy Statement
• Faculty Recommendation Letter
• Curriculum Vitae (C.V.)
Detailed requirements for each document will be provided within the application.
