Teaching Innovation Awards
The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
The Innovation in Teaching Award (ITA) provides faculty stipends of $2,000 to enhance student learning through innovative activities and approaches. This award is sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Prior to 2023, this award was called the Teaching and Learning Award (TLA).
Eligibility
This competitive award is open to all faculty and staff who have continuing appointments and course development responsibilities (i.e., an assignment from the dean, chair, or designee to develop a new course or significantly revise an existing course). This includes, but is not limited to, tenured and tenure-track faculty; clinical instructional faculty; lecturers, and graduate student teachers.
Applications from teams of collaborating proposers are encouraged but only one stipend will be provided to the primary applicant named in the application. Activities may not be similar to other submitted/proposed projects.
Application Details
All applications are handled electronically. Applications must be submitted as PDF documents to cetl@uttyler.edu by the application deadline noted below. Please download the Application Form for details on application requirements, award requirements, and the application evaluation rubric.
