Funds and awards available for teaching projects

January 21, 2014 —

The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning has two programs they want instructors, tenured and non-tenured professors to know about: Teaching and Learning Innovation funding, which has a Feb. 14th application deadline, and the Celebrating Teaching and Learning event is now accepting submissions.

The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) is a faculty development unit that works in collaboration with faculty and graduate students to provide leadership, expertise, and support in fulfilling the teaching and learning mission of the University of Manitoba.

CATL contributes to the practice and scholarship of teaching through guidance, collaborative problem-solving, and research with respect to teaching and learning effectiveness, curriculum planning, and institutional policies and infrastructure to optimize the learning and teaching experiences of students and faculty.

Their program brochure is available here.
