News and Information

Submit a CTE major teaching project grant proposal (up to $3,000). These grants encourage curricular and pedagogical innovations that will result in more engaged and improved student learning. Innovations may be at the course, department, program, division, and/or university levels. 

This award was established by Miami alumnus E. Phillips Knox, a 1968 graduate, to recognize creative, innovative, and engaging teaching methods at the undergraduate level. 

The latest issue of the Journal on Excellence in College Teaching (Vol. 35.3, 2024) includes articles for instructors on mentoring in the STEM disciplines, teaching in nonnative settings, becoming social justice change agents, and more. Note: Access to the Journal website requires being logged into your Miami account on campus or via VPN. 

The CTE's external fundraising success has created a special opportunity for Miamians. 

Faculty, staff, or graduate students may complete this short scholarship application by November 1, 2024 to be considered for a registration scholarship (excluding meals and preconference workshops). Please wait to register until you receive word on your application from LillyCon@MiamiOH.edu.

If you are conducting a midcourse evaluation, you can meet with one of our Faculty Teaching Associates, who will help you either plan your midcourse evaluation and/or interpret results and create a plan for an instructional response. 

Community in the classroom promotes student success. This Faculty Focus article offers useful strategies for establishing classroom community and continuing to build it throughout the semester–and even beyond.
