The Washington State University President’s Teaching Academy has set May application deadlines for two new awards recognizing faculty efforts—the Outstanding Publication in the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education Award and the Teaching Conference Registration Award.
May 1 is the deadline for applications for the Teaching Conference Registration Award, while the deadline is May 15 for the Outstanding Publication in the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education Award. Details on these as well as university-level grants and awards are online.
Teaching Conference Registration Award
This award of up to $500 covers the cost of registration fees to attend a conference, meeting, or workshop that will directly enhance the applicant’s classroom teaching and/or scholarship of teaching. The recipient must attend, or have already attended, the event during the July 1, 2020-July 1, 2021 period.
Outstanding Publication in the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education
This $500 award recognizes WSU faculty for an outstanding publication that is either an article or a chapter. Though not open to academy members, faculty from any discipline at any rank—career-track or tenured/tenure-track—are eligible if they published a peer-reviewed article within the scope of teaching and learning in higher education during 2019 or 2020. The focus of the publication can be conceptual, theoretical, practical, or empirical, and the work may be single- or co-authored.
