Inclusive Teaching Scholars Program

Seeking Applicants: Inclusive Teaching Scholar Program

All Full-time Faculty members are invited to apply for the Inclusive Teaching Scholars Program. This program seeks to identify and support at least one person from each academic unit for a total of 5 or 6 scholars who would function as a cohort.

Individually, Scholars will undertake or enhance an inclusive pedagogical project in areas that may include inclusive classroom strategies, assignments, activities, and assessments that support diverse student perspectives, and/or the development of or utilization of learning materials from underrepresented scholars.  Collectively, they would help each other, our campus enterprise, and serve as the conduit between the CTL and each academic unit for all things under the inclusive teaching umbrella. 

Scholars will be compensated $1000 for participation in the year-long program. This program is supported by the Howard Hughes Inclusive Excellence IE3 Grant. 

Applications are due September 27.
