Curricular and Pedagogical Innovations Grants, 2009-10
Curricular and Pedagogical Innovations Grants will help faculty members enhance the quality of education at Trinity by taking advantage of new technologies, new teaching methods, and new approaches to knowledge. We encourage submissions on behalf of individuals and departments, and we are particularly interested in proposals that reach across disciplinary lines or that extend out into the community and beyond. The principal criterion for selection will be the degree to which the proposed project will enrich student learning within the Trinity curriculum.
The funds are allocated through the Office of Academic Affairs. Award amounts will vary depending on the complexity of the proposed project.
Although all kinds of projects will be considered, we will give special priority to proposals for lower-division Common Curriculum courses; proposals for Beyond the Classroom courses; and proposals for Senior Experience courses.
Each proposal should include a brief narrative that addresses the following items:
Schedule of work to be done under the grant;
Budget (including supplies and expenses, if any);
Ways in which the project will enhance student learning;
Support of the departmental chair.
A summary of funded grant projects from previous years may be found on the Academic Affairs web site: http://www.trinity.edu/departments/academic_affairs/aahome/Faculty%20Development/curripedaginnovagrants.htm.
At the end of the grant period, each faculty member should submit to Academic Affairs a brief report on his or her activities.
Please send proposals and reports
electronically to AVPAA Duane Coltharp (dcolthar@trinity.edu).
