Service-Learning Grants and Awards
During Spring semester 2006, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and
Learning (CETL) and Volunteer Connection, in collaboration with the Office
of the Provost and the Academic Colleges, offered awards for faculty
excellence in teaching with service-learning as well as a series of grants
for course re-design and implementation to faculty new to but interested
in service-learning.
The purpose of providing awards and small grants for course re-design to include
service-learning is threefold:
- To increase service-learning opportunities for SCSU students and to increase the range of disciplines in which service-learning opportunities are available to SCSU students
- To increase the number of faculty engaged in teaching through service-learning and in the scholarship of teaching
- To raise the institutional profile of service-learning and to extend and deepen department, college, and institutional recognition of service-learning and the scholarship of teaching vis-a-vis Article 22 of the IFO contract.
It was a pleasure to present five CETL Service-Learning Awards at the 2006 Faculty Forum Day luncheon to these faculty members.
These nine faculty members were presented with CETL Service-Learning Small Grants and will undertake redesign of a course during the 2006-2007 academic year.
