Outcomes
The positive impact of the program has been manifested in specific innovations in the Fellows' classrooms and in the spread of new approaches to teaching across the campus.
Fellows report that they have made and continue to make major innovations in their classes as a result of the FLP experience. They are raising their expectations and demanding more serious thinking in their large introductory courses.
Recharged with new ideas and enthusiasm, they are systematically spreading these innovative approaches within their departments, in associate instructor training programs, through campus-wide committees and initiatives, and in informal social interactions.
