The Sustainability Faculty Scholars Program is seeking applicants for the 2011 program, to begin at the start of the spring semester. The Sustainability Faculty Scholars Program will identify, support and recognize faculty who are interested in incorporating or enhancing a focus on sustainable principles and practices in their courses, and exploring a range of pedagogies to develop this theme.
Eight faculty will be selected to participate in this year’s program. Faculty selected to participate will receive a summer $1,000 stipend, and sustainability themed courses can be capped at 25 students.
Faculty selected to be part of the seminar will learn together from:
• An orientation meeting with new and returning Scholars just before the start of the spring 2011 semester
• 3 workshops during spring semester that will focus on sustainability and relevant pedagogies
• A full day field trip, to be held during spring semester
• A half-day workshop to be held at the end of the spring semester
• A summer book club discussion/lunch, to be held with present and past Scholars
• A 1-day planning retreat to be held at the end of the summer, before Fall Semester begins (date to be determined by participants)
• A meeting to discuss progress mid-fall semester
• Continued construction of a Blackboard website with syllabi, teaching materials and other relevant resources
