CERGE-EI Career Integration Fellows "Teaching Principles and Practices for Economics Course"
We welcome this year's new cohort of Career Integration Fellows! These recent PhD graduates with degrees from Western universities are aiming to contribute their much-needed cutting-edge knowledge and fresh, effective teaching techniques to Economics education in the CEE and fSU regions. Their modern approach and knowledge is greatly needed and much appreciated.
The course offers Fellows opportunities to learn more about the program and resources offered by CERGE-EI. Fellows will also contribute to discussions on a range of important topics, including comparisons of teaching in the west and the CEE, and teaching in an internet world. There will also be a focus on building and maintaining connections between Fellows, CERGE-EI, and the Teaching Fellows community.
The program’s funding has been substantially expanded again this year in response to the outstanding reviews it has received from institutions and students in past years. Each Fellow is truly important to Economics education, and will leave positive footprints that will influence the region for years to come!
