Roanoke College’s Teaching Collaborative has awarded three new pedagogy fellowships that will support projects designed to enhance ongoing efforts to improve teaching evaluations, holistic student advising and the well-being of students, staff and faculty.

The new fellows and their focus areas are:

  • Assistant Professor Alison Clifton, of the Modern Languages Department, will be researching the pedagogy of well-being;
  • Director of New Student Orientation and Transitions Kelly Dalaski will be exploring the pedagogy of advising;
  • Assistant Professor Jonathan McCloud, of the Education Department, will be working on formative peer observation of teaching.

The Teaching Collaborative is a faculty-led initiative that works to advance research into the science of teaching and learning. The Pedagogy Fellows program aims to enrich campus culture by developing a strong network of faculty and staff conversant with research-based best practices who can respond well to the challenges and opportunities presented by changing student demographics and technologies.
