ITL Teaching Fellows Awards - Call for Nominations
The Institute for Teaching & Learning is soliciting nominations from faculty and academic administrators for the 2015-2016 University of Connecticut Teaching Fellows. It is our intention that up to four such fellows will be honored and each awarded a stipend of $2,000. The funds are to be used at the recipients’ discretion with the single restriction that they be used in support of their instructional programs.
The Fellows will be presented at the Instructional Excellence Recognition Dinner to be held on April 22, 2015 and their medallion during the 2015 undergraduate commencement activities. Teaching Fellows engage in a number of teaching and learning activities including participation in workshops developed by the Institute for Teaching & Learning, allowing teaching assistants and new faculty to visit their classrooms, and serving as mentors for faculty in their discipline or cognate areas.
There is a structured nomination form. It is intended to capture the essence of scholarship with respect to teaching and is formed to allow the essentials of the nomination to be gathered in a minimum of space.
It is suggested that the nominator prepare a cover sheet outlining the case in its broad terms while adding the particulars in the format of the nomination form. Some of the sections ask for the candidate’s details and it is expected that the candidate will provide those to the nominator. The form is a word document so you may type within the form and can be downloaded at http://itl.uconn.edu/itl-teaching-fellow-awards/.
Once complete please electronically convert the nomination form and all supporting documents to PDF before emailing to stacey.valliere@uconn.edu
Nominations must be received electronically by December 19, 2014.
