The Washington State University Teaching Academy has set a March 15 application deadline for two awards recognizing faculty efforts—the Outstanding Publication in the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education Award and the Teaching Conference Registration Award.
“These awards acknowledge the accomplishments and professional development of WSU faculty and are in line with the Teaching Academy’s goal to elevate excellence in teaching and learning,” said Joy Egbert, academy chair.
Details on these as well as university-level grants and awards are available online.
Teaching Conference Registration Award
This award of $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 the event during the July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022 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. 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 2020 or 2021. The focus of the publication can be conceptual, theoretical, practical, or empirical, and the work may be single- or co-authored.
WSU Teaching Academy
The organization serves as the institution’s premier organization dedicated to teaching excellence. It is open to a select number of faculty with academic responsibility to the university who have records of sustained excellence in teaching and are recognized for their scholarship in teaching and learning.
