The Academic Support Program’s Teaching Fellowship is a 1-year long fellowship where a cohort of UW faculty collaborate with our peer educators (tutors and academic coaches) to enrich and develop our respective learning spaces. The fellowship creates opportunities for faculty and instructors teaching larger gateway courses to engage in meaningful conversations outside their department with one another and our teams. Ultimately, the goal is to make the learning spaces (both classroom and learning center/coaching) more dynamic, equitable and interesting.
For the 2026-2027 cohort, the teaching fellowship will focus on Chemistry curriculum with an emphasis on the General and Organic Chemistry courses.
The application requires completing a google form with 4 short response application questions. Please log in with your UW email account to access the google form.

ASP Teaching Fellowship Application 2026-2027

Below are quotes from last year's cohort of Teaching Fellows and what they found helpful from the fellowship.
"The Fellowship gave me a much deeper understanding of how thoughtfully CLUE supports student learning and allowed me to learn directly from tutors and ASP staff. It also created lasting relationships and opened the door to stronger, more coordinated collaboration between faculty and student educators. By connecting faculty, tutors, and ASP staff, the Fellowship can create more coordinated and responsive support for students across gateway courses. In the long term, these partnerships can help identify emerging learning needs, strengthen communication across campus, and lead to more effective and equitable approaches to student success."

"I am very grateful to have been part of the inaugural cohort. The Fellowship created valuable connections among faculty, tutors, coaches, and staff who are all trying to help students succeed but do not always have enough opportunities to learn from one another. I hope this becomes a lasting community and that future cohorts continue to include space for honest conversation, shared problem-solving, and collaboration across departments. One of my biggest takeaways is that better student support often begins with better connections among the people supporting them. The Fellowship created something we did not realize we so desperately needed: space for teaching faculty to feel seen, share challenges, and build meaningful connections."
- Andrew Loveless, Teaching Professor, Mathematics Department
