Hi everyone,
Each year, the Faculty Academy on Excellence in Teaching (FACET) recognizes faculty who bring passion, innovation, and creativity to the classroom to promote student success.
You have until February 11th to apply for 2024 Innovate Awards in the following categories:
- Collaborative activities: Do you or your colleague(s) have an effective collaborative classroom activity? What does this activity look like, and how does it promote peer–to–peer engagement in addition to student learning?
- Community engagement: Do you or your colleague(s) have an effective community engagement activity? What does this activity look like, and how does it promote community engagement in addition to student learning?
- Creative uses of online tools: Do you or your colleague(s) have a particularly effective method or activity that uses online tools (applications, programs, or Canvas tools) to promote student learning? What does this activity look like, how does it work, and how does it impact student learning?
- Skills across the curriculum: Any activity that empowers students by teaching them how to learn skills across the curriculum, such as reading, writing, speaking, critical thinking or others.
- DEIJ–informed pedagogy: Any activity that centers DEIJ–informed pedagogy –– for example, effective revisions of course learning outcomes to center equal access to learning (especially through culturally and socially meaningful course work; assessments that increase sense of belonging, based on micro–affirmations; or re–thinking of course activities or resources that promote or increase understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice).
Anyone with responsibility for teaching an undergraduate or graduate class at an IU campus or FACET Fort Wayne, regardless of status or rank, is eligible to apply. Applicants are not restricted to FACET members.
