Community-Based Learning Faculty Fellows
An effective CBL course grows from a combination of course content, faculty interests, and community need. Recognizing the complexity of designing and implementing a CBL course, the CCE offers fellowships to faculty who want to explore the CBL pedagogy.
Fellows received $1000 to attend a two-day workshop on the basics of CBL, $1800 to transform an existing course or $3000 to create a new course with a CBL component, and $1000 to participate in a CBL faculty-learning community which meets periodically during the school year in which the new course is taught.
Applications are currently available online for 2010-2011 CBL Faculty Fellowships. Please contact CBL program manager Terry Dolson with questions.
