Colleagues:
Dillard University’s Center for Teaching, Learning, and Academic technology is sponsoring a “Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Research Institute” funded through the UNCF Mellon Teaching and Learning Grant. We propose to host this institute May 12 – 13, 2011 on campus. It is a two (2) day institute to expose both our faculty and other schools to the following select objectives:
(1)Increase faculty interest in teaching and learning through SoTL and Faculty Learning Community principles
(2)Provide consultant support to faculty for investigating and utilizing new strategies in classroom research as well as experimental research
(3)Increase publication submission rates for participating institutions
We are requesting that you or designated faculty consider joining us in this retreat that focuses on tips for successful publishing. The goal is to assist faculty in submitting a research project for publication before classes start in August. We are asking that you focus on research that you have already begun so that at the end of the institute you would be ready to submit to a refereed journal.
We will support 1-2 ready faculty/faculty developers from your institution by paying registration fees, travel reimbursement, and we will provide room and board on campus for the two (2) day retreat. Faculty whose articles are successfully submitted will be paid a stipend of $1,000.00.
This institute proved to be a great opportunity for junior and senior faculty who needed the concentrated support to assist them in getting published. Dr. Kathy Burlew, University of Cincinnati, will once again be conducting the institute here at Dillard University.
We ask that you complete the attached application and return to Barbara Albert, balbert@dillard.edu by April 15, 2011.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there.
