College of Education Teaching Academy

The College of Education, through the College Investment Fund, has established the College of Education Teaching Academy to provide critical support and professional development opportunities to all College of Education teaching faculty and staff, including teaching assistants.

The goal of the College of Education Teaching Academy is to build upon the capacity of faculty, staff and teaching assistants to effectively fulfill their teaching roles in the College and also be recognized as among the best within campus and within their respective disciplines.

The Teaching Academy...

• can serve as a venue for interested participants to collaborate and launch new projects, write grant proposals, or design programs of research on innovative teaching techniques.
• can provide assistance to tenure track and tenured faculty working towards tenure and promotion through resources such as peer mentoring, topical workshops, and web-based materials and links.
