FLAGship Program
Launched in 2019, the 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 educator and leadership development, promotion and progress, and educational literature. It also allows them to connect participants with mentors or help them find a mentor. The FLAGship program encourages fellows and faculty to apply and participate in the 9-month-long program. Monthly sessions include topics of scholarship, leadership, and educator(ship).
Members that take part in this program will:
- Begin an educational project, which could be research, a new teaching opportunity, or an array of options
- Learn about and connect with educators in the Academy community
- Attend monthly FLAGship sessions, including educational journal clubs, leadership development sessions, and education-related workshops.
In addition to attending at least 12 FLAGship sessions during the year, individuals applying for the program must demonstrate a commitment during the FLAGship year to at least one of the following:
