Scholarly Teaching Faculty Funding
CETL Scholarly Teaching is pleased to offer the following funded faculty development opportunities for KSU faculty.
Teaching Academy for Part-Time Faculty
The Teaching Academy for Part-time Faculty is a two-day learning event facilitated
online and offered during spring break each year. The Academy is designed to introduce
KSU faculty who teach part-time to research on student learning, information processing
and skill development, and to teaching strategies tailored to foster deep lasting
learning in students. This virtual experience includes both synchronous meetings (everyone
logged in at the same time) and asynchronous sessions (time to work on your own off-line).
The academy requires attendees to participate in group discussion board conversations
and personal reflection exercises. Activities are also included to help you apply
the theories and research to your own courses.
Dates: Monday and Tuesday of KSU Spring Break each year
Application Deadline: late January each year
Amount: Upon completion, eligible participants receive $750 additional pay
It's About Engagement Course (re)Design Institutes
CETL dedicates its annual course redesign institute to support one High Impact Practice
(Service Learning or Internships and Co-ops) each year during the It’s About Engagement initiative. Participants in this virtual, week-long, synchonous and asynchronous
course are exposed to the theory and research of instructional strategies or pedagogies,
followed by the time and space to put that theory into practice via changes to their
course plan and assignments.
Dates: 3rd week in May each year (after faculty contracts end)
Application Deadline: early April each year
Amount: Upon completion, eligible participants receive $1,500 in summer pay
It's About Engagement Critical Reflection Essay Rating

session to prepare faculty to complete ratings of these essays, then rate student
reflections by the due date in order to receive funding. Reflection essays will be
provided by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness from selected representative
courses within the It’s About Engagement program and may come from any one of the
three areas of It’s About Engagement; undergraduate research, service learning, or
internships/co-ops.
Dates: 3rd week in May each year (after faculty contracts end)
