Fund for the Advancement of Collaborative Teaching (FACT)

Macalester supports the development of team-taught courses through the Fund for the Advancement of Collaborative Teaching (FACT), which offers $1000 course development stipends to each faculty member selected for a team-teaching experience as well as the possibility of hiring part-time faculty to cover courses necessary to a department’s curriculum that might be lost due to the team-teaching assignment. For more information, contact Vice Provost and Associate Dean of the Faculty Paul Overvoorde ([email protected]).
