The Academy of Educators, housed within the Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development, is pleased to announce the 2021-22 FLAGship (Faculty/Fellow Leadership and Growth) Program cohort.
Launched in 2019 as the Mentored Member Program, the newly rebranded AOE FLAGship (Faculty/Fellow Leadership and Growth) Program provides cohort members, from various departments and specialties, with a community of educators and a venue to discuss leadership development, promotion and progress, and educational literature. It also affords them the opportunity to connect with mentors or to receive assistance with finding a mentor.
All participants begin an educational project (which could be research, a new teaching opportunity, etc.), attend monthly journal clubs and leadership development sessions, and present one journal club paper during the year.
