What does the Graduate Teaching Fellowship involve?
In the first year, the Creative Writing Program awards GTFs to MFA students teaching in the Kidd Tutorial Program or teaching undergraduate intro courses in fiction or poetry. No previous teaching experience is required for the GTF appointments. However, applicants will need to demonstrate their probable success as first-time teachers through their application materials and letters of recommendation. In the second year, most students apply for GTFs teaching composition through the English Department. GTFs teach one course per quarter. Training and support are provided.
