Future Professoriate Program (FPP)

Started in 1991 with funding from the Foundation for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) and The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Future Professoriate Program has two fundamental goals:

1. to prepare graduate students for the range of responsibilities they will assume as future members of the professoriate

2. to effect a change in faculty culture by fostering recognition of the importance of teaching as a dimension of graduate education

Based on the premise that this preparation is best provided by faculty in their disciplines, the Project has implemented three initiatives:

  • the Teaching Associateship, a higher-level pre-doctoral appointment involving an independent teaching experience under the guidance of a Faculty Teaching Mentor
  • a series of Faculty Teaching Mentors' Seminars designed to assist faculty mentors in preparing graduate students for life in the academy
  • the Certificate in University Teaching, a new form of recognition awarded jointly by the Graduate School and the academic departments to those teaching associates who, under the guidance of a faculty mentor, engage in an independent teaching experience and document their teaching credentials through the preparation of a teaching portfolio
