Application for Faculty Professional Development for Teaching
The purpose of Faculty Professional Development for Teaching is to support faculty and those staff involved in our teaching and academic programs, either individuals or groups, who wish to develop their teaching skills, enhance their practice of teaching, or to learn or expand their understanding of best practices. Funds may be used to attend professional conferences or otherwise participate in professional development aimed at enhancing teaching.
Proposals from faculty/staff teams who wish to build community and team work by attending a program together are encouraged; for such proposals, it is expected that work both before and after the conference will be included as part of the proposal. If such is available, funding contributions from the school(s), program(s), or individual faculty professional development funds are expected.
(Note: the purpose of this type of funding support in the professional development of the faculty while other forms of support are aimed at significant curricular, course, and/or other opportunities for teaching innovation.)
