For a schedule of recent or forthcoming Teaching Orientations, see the What's New page. Each fall the Bok Center, in conjunction with the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, organizes a New Faculty Orientation. At the start of the semester, new faculty have the chance to meet each other and invited members of the Harvard community, including selected students and veteran faculty, in a half-day meeting. Follow-up sessions later in the year permit exploration of related topics. A group of teaching fellows from a single department or course meets with the instructor and Bok Center staff.
Participants alternate between the role of teacher and student.
In addition, their teaching is videotaped. To sign up for an open session, teaching fellows should call the Bok Center directly.
