Washington State University Pullman faculty can apply by 5 p.m. Dec. 15 to join the university’s seventh cohort of LIFT Faculty Fellows and participate in spring programming, the Transformational Change Initiative (TCI) in the provost’s office announced.
Faculty accepted into the cohort will be notified by Dec. 20. Fellows receive $2,000. The programming consists of readings and reflections, attendance at pedagogical trainings, participation in a peer observation and/or co-mentoring training session, completion of a classroom implementation plan, and a progress report.
LIFT is the acronym for “Learn. Inspire. Foster. Transform.” The program supports educators committed to continuously improving the student experience, transforming their courses, and developing pedagogy to boost student success through the application of active-learning approaches and brief behavioral interventions. To date, more than 175 educators system-wide have become LIFT Fellows since the program began in 2017, impacting the academic experience of thousands of WSU students.
