Dates and location of all groups will be determined by faculty availability.
Grant Writing Workgroup
- This semester-long workgroup will engage participants in the process of grant writing. Beginning with work with Grants Administration to identify potential sources of funding, participants will develop, during the semester, a grant proposal appropriate to her/his chosen funding source. Throughout the workgroup, participants will actively assist each other in proposal writing by offering ideas, reviewing for clarity, and critiquing to ensure conformity to the demands of the funding source.
Peer Review of Teaching Workgroup
- The Peer Review of Teaching Workgroup is designed to develop peer assessment expertise in an individual or small group, for personal or programmatic purposes. To accomplish this, resources will be provided for designing peer-assessment materials, coordinating formative peer review activities among group participants, and facilitating discussion and evaluation of the peer review activities. Group participants will open their classrooms to peer review and participate in the peer review of some aspect of another work group member’s teaching.
New Faculty Workgroup
- Specifically directed to the teaching concerns of new (or relatively new) faculty. It is intended to be helpful to both those with little teaching experience and more experienced faculty coming to us from other institutions. Our only requirements are a genuine interest in enhancing your teaching and your students’ learning, a willingness and ability to commit to six, 90-minute working sessions over the course of the semester, and a willingness to work collaboratively with other faculty. In return, we offer informational resources, intellectual stimulation, mutual support, great discussions, and the opportunity to meet others from across campus.
