Body
Faculty are invited to submit proposals for the Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning’s spring 2024 Inclusive Excellence in Teaching Mini-Grant. These grants are intended to invest in expanding in-progress projects, as well as to aid in scaling-up student support and inclusive excellence in teaching efforts to increase faculty learning, course- or curriculum-development, or pedagogy-related programming. Some examples of possible mini-grant projects include but are not limited to:
- Development of course modules or materials designed for adoption by multiple instructors teaching in a course or curricular area
- Pilot implementation and assessment of course modules or materials designed for multiple instructors teaching in a course or curricular area
- Design of faculty development/training curricula and materials to support a current course, course sequence, or curricular area
- Registration costs for an inclusive teaching-related event, local/regional/national, with a specific proposed local deliverable for the Mason program, department, school/college, or campus community
- Faculty+student learning community or affinity group regarding ARIT principles/issues, to build collaboration and resources that will support curriculum and pedagogy development for a course or area
Proposals are due Friday, December 8. Proposals received after that date but before Monday, January 10 may be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis. For details about proposals, visit the Stearns Center website.
