PEW SCHOLAR TEACHER GRANT SPECIAL INITIATIVE:
PEW "MASTER TEACHER" RESIDENCY GRANT
This Special Initiative Grant is to provide additional targeted funding for departments to bring in pedagogical experts , “Master Teachers”, from their discipline for a short-term residency on campus. Residency objectives can include traditional aspects of pedagogy (teaching strategies/methods, use of new technology, evaluation of learning, etc.), as well as the transformation and extension of subject matter knowledge as reflected in curriculum and course development, teaching methodologies, or faculty assisting other faculty. Also included would be curricular revision, faculty motivated to incorporate new pedagogies, new degrees, etc.
Maximum award: $5,000; one award per department every two years.
Deadlines: October 1, February 1, and April 1.
Items to note:
1. All other things being equal, faculty members and/or departments who have not received grants in preceding grant rounds will be given priority over those who have.
2. Ongoing projects are not funded by Pew FTLC.
3. Be as thorough as possible in your application. A primary reason many grants are denied is due to a lack of thorough implementation and assessment plans. Another reason many grants are reduced or denied is due to a lack of detail or errors in the budget.
