Summer Faculty Development Conference

The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning, Information Fluency Initiative, Office of Experiential Learning (Internships and Service-Learning), Office of Diversity Initiatives, and Office of International Studies will provide $800/person grants for faculty members who are transforming courses or programs by emphasizing assessment of learning outcomes, diversity, the UCF unifying theme, information fluency, interdisciplinarity, internships, internationalizing the curriculum, the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), service-learning, undergraduate research or track-specific research, or other appropriate issues.

Full-time faculty members from all colleges are invited to apply. Faculty members who did not fulfill requirements from past conferences or who do not expect to return to UCF for the next academic year are not eligible.

Participants will be supported in their project development by staff from all the offices listed above and by staff from the Office of Instructional Resources, Operational Excellence and Assessment Support, Center for Distributed Learning/Course Development & Web Services, Student Development and Enrollment Services, and the Library. A series of interactive sessions designed to help explore teaching techniques, student engagement activities, curriculum development, and assessment strategies will be provided as well as project development time and support.

Participants will be expected to attend the entire conference (daily from 8 am – 5 pm) to receive payment. Those who cannot attend all sessions on all four days are welcome to participate in as much of the conference as they are able but will not be eligible for a full stipend. This includes those who must miss to complete grading duties or other university business.
