| Lecturer Beth Wood encourages teaching Fellows during a recent session. |
Long-time professors will share ideas on fundamentals such as teaching philosophy, syllabus strategies and grading principles as well as will discuss methods and materials for teaching writing and reporting in an increasingly converged news media environment. Those new to teaching journalism may discuss challenges and, with these experienced teachers, explore ways to overcome them.
History
The program is the brainchild of former School of Journalism Dean Richard Gray, who realized that beginning instructors needed direction in how to teach writing, reporting and editing. He envisioned a workshop where a small group of beginning teachers would learn from master teachers the art of good teaching, use of instructional resources, direction on evaluation methods and precision journalism.Since the first workshop in 1977, the program has expanded and adapted, and now counts among its alumni nearly 350 faculty from across North America. Many are journalism professionals who are taking their expertise to an academic setting; others are experienced instructors seeking ways to adapt their methods as they switch to teaching journalism for the first time.
Funding
The School of Journalism funds 15 fellowships to cover all costs for travel, food and lodging, instruction and teaching materials. Each Fellow must pay a $300 registration fee, which the sponsoring school or department may pay as an expression of its support for effective teaching.Location
The workshop will be held at Ernie Pyle Hall, home of Indiana University’s School of Journalism, in Bloomington, Ind. Fellows will be housed in the hotel of the Indiana Memorial Union, adjacent to Ernie Pyle Hall.Under the terms of the fellowship, Fellows must arrive in Bloomington by 6 p.m., Sunday, June 8, for the opening dinner and remain in attendance through the concluding dinner on Thursday, June 12.
