Faculty share their expertise and infuse new perspectives and new energy into colleagues' classes.
As you design your courses, you might consider inviting an 新月直播 colleague to give a guest lecture, facilitate a class discussion, lead a class field trip or debate, give a performance, etc. The Center for Teaching Excellence believes that faculty learn from watching colleagues at work and that students benefit from being introduced to a different faculty鈥檚 perspective.
Inviting faculty must be present at the class. After the class, the inviting faculty member is expected to write a 2-3 paragraph review of the class, that addresses the following: 1) a brief overview of the content of the class; 2) a discussion of how students benefited from the guest; and 3) a discussion of what the inviting faculty member learned from his/her colleague in terms of her/his area of expertise and/or pedagogical approach. Once this review is completed, the听guest faculty member will be compensated $150.
To apply for these funds, please fill out this . After your collegue has guest lectured please fill out this . Note that funding is limited (and runs out every year!) and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's best to reserve your funds as soon as you know your colleague will be visiting your class.
*For budgetary reasons there will be a limit of one such honorarium per听faculty member per semester.听

鈥淭o have a colleague in the Sciences lead听 a discussion in my History course was interdisciplinarity at its best!"
