2009-2010 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Team Funding Awards

List of 2008-2009 Recipients --- List of Recipients in Previous Years

Annually, CETL offers several funding awards for participants in its Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Team (STLT) initiative. Based upon a successful program at Portland State University, STLT is designed to help facilitate and recognize faculty endeavors to do research on teaching and learning as it occurs in higher education settings, including research on student learning designed to meet KSU's Assurance of Learning (AOL) initiatives. Although participants work autonomously on their project throughout the year, they also attend several team meetings to advance their own research through discussion, problem solving, and the sharing of ideas. Through a community of scholars, this interdisciplinary approach to research can both facilitate research and help keep projects on track through collegial support and encouragement. Benefits of the program include: team support, resource and technical support, a writing retreat offered to STLT participants to assist with project completion, and travel support for presentations at professional meetings.

Funds will be awarded to faculty members (as teams or individuals) conducting research in the fields of scholarship of teaching and learning at Kennesaw State University. Accepted projects are awarded a total of $1,000. A complete description of the program, including application materials and criteria for this year's awards (which have already been selected), is available at this link (NOTE: This is a Rich Text Format, rtf, document).The deadline for receipt of proposals for 2009-2010 awards is August 31, 2009.
