Academy for Future Faculty

The Academy for Future Faculty (AFF), one of several Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL@TAMU) programs, provides professional development in teaching for graduate students preparing for a career in higher education. Anchored by faculty mentorship and featuring weekly seminars and workshops, AFF events are free and open to all graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in the Texas A&M University academic community. Participants may choose to attend selected events or to complete all requirements for the Academy for Future Faculty Fellow certificate, which also qualifies the student for a CIRTL Associate certificate. Participants have the option to complete the AFF Fellow certificate program in one or two semesters, or even over two academic years.

While AFF serves as a supplement to research-oriented programs by assisting graduate students with the teaching component of their career preparation, it is not teaching assistant training per se. Instead, AFF provides broader benefits applicable to all graduate students, whether currently teaching or preparing for teaching in the future. These benefits include:

1. opportunities to learn from professors known for excellence in teaching
2. mentorship in teaching in higher education environments
3. career paths exploration
4. professional documents and teaching portfolio development for use in the academic job search
5. networking connections with peers, faculty, and staff
6. opportunities to earn the CIRTL Associate and AFF Senior Fellow certificates
7. opportunities for advanced professional development as an AFF Fellow

The Academy for Future Faculty is co-sponsored by the Graduate and Professional School and the Center for Teaching Excellence. Interested graduate students are encouraged to visit the Academy for Future Faculty website.

Texas A&M Children’s Centers

https://childrens-centers.tamu.edu

The Texas A&M Children’s Centers are licensed and accredited early childhood programs that serve as laboratory schools supporting the teaching, research and outreach missions of Texas A&M University. The centers provide high-quality early childhood education for the children of Texas A&M University faculty, students, staff and our local community while also serving as a site for applied learning, research and professional preparation in early childhood and related fields.

The Children’s Centers serve children ages 12 months through 5 years and operate year-round, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

The educational philosophy of the Children’s Centers aligns with play-based, emergent curriculums, which emphasizes active participatory learning. Children construct knowledge through hands-on exploration, intentional interactions with teachers and engagement with a thoughtfully designed learning environment. Active learning is embedded in daily routines, classroom environments, adult–child interactions and observational assessment practices. Teachers support children’s development through encouragement, responsive relationships and a problem-solving approach to social learning.

As laboratory schools, the Children’s Centers partner with Texas A&M University departments to provide educational and professional experiences for undergraduate and graduate students. These opportunities may include classroom observations, practicums, internships, field experiences, research projects and collaborative initiatives that support the study of child development, early learning and family engagement.

Families interested in enrolling their child may visit the Children’s Centers website to review the Family Handbook and complete the waitlist application.

The target audiences for the academy are graduate and professional students, faculty and staff. The Graduate Mentoring Academy is administered by the Graduate and Professional School at Texas A&M University.

The Graduate Mentoring Academy is parallel to the Faculty Mentoring Academy (FMA) and uses the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) resources which includes seven evidence-based mentorship competencies. These Graduate and Professional School activities, along with efforts from the Center for Teaching Excellence, and the Division of Research, work to create a culture of mentoring across our institution.

GMA workshops are offered in both face-to-face and virtual formats so that all seven competencies can be accessed regardless of location over the course of the year. Workshops are formatted in a learner-centered and engaging format that include case studies, discussion opportunities and reflection activities. Break-out groups are used in the sessions to ensure every group of students, faculty and staff receives appropriate and differentiated activities and instruction. Students, faculty and staff can expect to increase their mentoring competence and skills so that they can be better mentors and mentees to others.

Students, faculty and staff who complete all seven competencies will earn the designation of Graduate Mentoring Academy Fellow, receiving a certificate and a door placard. Graduate Mentoring Academy Fellows will also have the opportunity to gain additional professional development experience to become a Graduate Mentoring Academy Workshop Facilitator. Graduate and professional students who engage in the Graduate Mentoring Academy may also earn credit towards GRAD Aggies certificates.

My Grad Journey

My Grad Journey is an innovative tool that allows our Texas A&M University graduate and professional students to view their current academic progress and enter details about their academic, research, professional development activities and career aspirations. My Grad Journey seeks to be the place where students, committee members and authorized staff can coordinate feedback and be transparent in their annual and ad hoc review processes as well as provide a way for students to track changes in their trajectory, career goals and aspirations. Faculty and staff administrators can use the system to collect data about their students and programs while managing the workflow of review and feedback of students.

The system allows students to keep track of progress toward their degree, including information about courses taken, teaching, professional development activities and scholarly productivity. Some of this information will be automatically imported from other campus databases, reducing the amount of work that students need to do to stay current. For faculty, this system provides a simple interface to track the progress of students whom they supervise. For administrators, the system allows simple access to a wealth of information about the activities of students in their program and helps streamline reporting processes.

Students, faculty and administrators may access the system at the My Grad Journey website. The implementation team can be reached at MyGradJourney@tamu.edu.
