Faculty-Student Pedagogy Partnership

The Faculty-Student Pedagogy Partnership program pairs Notre Dame instructors with undergraduate students trained in effective and evidence-based teaching practices. Our goal is that this program will provide a space for students and faculty to learn from one another about teaching practices that will support the success of all students at Notre Dame. Pedagogical partnerships have been shown to promote student engagement while creating a stronger sense of community and belonging for students and faculty alike.

We invite any faculty member or postdoctoral or graduate instructor of record to learn more and sign up for the short-term partnership here. If you're interested in the semester-long partnership, email kaneb@nd.edu.
