The WSU Teaching Academy is made up of educators across WSU who have wide-ranging expertise in teaching-related areas and share goals to promote a university culture that values, supports, and rewards teaching excellence. Members resolve to be vital resources and advocates for fellow teaching faculty and graduate student teachers. They are expected to attend general meetings as their schedules permit and lead or participate in initiatives and committees according to their interests, skills, and availability.
The academy offers a book club open to all, and hosts a TEACHxWSU event each year focused on a special topic of interest and use to educators. A new member drive will be held this spring.
