Future Academic Scholars in Teaching (FAST) Fellowship
The Graduate School, Michigan State University
The FAST Fellowship program is a teaching and learning professional development opportunity. The primary goals are to provide opportunities for mentored teaching experiences; develop, implement, and evaluate a teaching-as-research project; and gain familiarity with materials on teaching and assessment techniques.
As a FAST Fellow, I conducted a teaching-as-research intervention with undergraduate students in the Environmental Studies and Sustainability major, titled "Using structured academic controversy to improve learners’ abilities to engage with complex sustainability challenges"
