Creighton University

The heart of our Institute is a process of mentoring work-in-progress, modeled on that developed by the Carnegie Foundation for their Scholars of Teaching and Learning residencies. No more than 28 proposals will be accepted, in order to maintain the intimate scale of mentoring cohorts.

All proposals should be prepared and submitted according to the guidelines posted online.

All proposals must be received by 4 February 2008;
We anticipate notification on or around 14 March 2008.

We seek proposals that:

• Represent any discipline(s) or field(s);
• Come from individual scholars or from teams;
• Frame a specific question about the teaching and learning of importance to others;
• Show evidence of an emerging methodology and plan;
• Represent genuine work-in-progress that can benefit from mentoring (NOT already publishable results)

We especially welcome proposals that:

• Reflect the Institute theme of "Professional Dispositions and Values" BUT this is not expected of all proposals;
• Include student collaborators (whose Institute registration fees will be waived for accepted proposals).
