Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Provost’s Teaching Innovation Grant Recipients!
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to share a summary of the Provost’s Teaching Innovation Grants that have been awarded for 2019-2020. This year saw a record number of proposals by Brandeis faculty seeking to bring evidence-based practices to their innovative teaching projects. Thirty-one of the forty-two proposals received at least partial funding. Themes that emerged from successful proposals included: peer teaching coaches for faculty, professional teaching development for graduate students, inclusive teaching practices across the disciplines, and projects to deliver and assess learning outcomes of the new Brandeis Core. Funding requests totaled $379,586 and $200,000 in award funding was ultimately provided. The recipients and the titles of their projects follow below
The 2019-2020 Teaching Innovation Grants Selection Committee included the following members. To avoid conflicts of interest, reviewers did not score applications that came from their own departments or from close collaborators/friends.
