Service Learning Faculty Development Stipend
Project Objectives and
Overview
Applications for participation in the Advanced Service Learning Workshop are now
being accepted. This year the workshop is sponsored by the Hedrick Program Grant
for Teaching Innovation. Faculty will be provided with instruction in the proven
teaching pedagogy of service learning in order to more actively engage their students
while simultaneously increasing Marshall University’s presence in the community
by initiating affiliations with new community partners and further developing current
ones.
Stipend
The MU Service Learning Program will provide a stipend for up to ten members of
faculty. Financial awards will not be less than $500.00 and not more than $1000.00
per faculty (pending number of faculty applicants). Awards will be disseminated
in May 2012.
Eligibility Criteria
Faculty applicants must:
- be a full-time, permanent faculty member at any rank
- be “new” to service learning
- have never taught an official “SL” designated course at Marshall University
- have not taken the Advanced Service Learning Workshop
- have approval and confirmation from department chair
Faculty Recipient Commitments
Grant recipients must agree to:
- attend the Fall 2011 Advanced Service Learning Workshop (specifically tailored to
those awarded)
- offer the service learning course in Spring 2012
- teach two additional service learning courses within a two year period after the
initial course was offered (i.e., January 2012-January 2014)
- participate in a service learning forum or panel during Fall 2012 iPED Conference
or other Service Learning-related conference
Proposal Requirements
Faculty must submit a proposal using the template provided which includes the following:
name, title/ rank, course number, and course description for the course to be offered
in Spring 2012 as well as a brief/general description of a service component for
the course. While faculty from all Colleges and Departments are encouraged to apply,
one goal of this grant is to expand SL course opportunities for students across
the curriculum. Thus, proposals from Colleges and Departments with few or no SL
courses currently on the books will be weighted accordingly.
Faculty applications must be electronically submitted no later than September 30,
2011. Recipients will be notified no later than October 17, 2011.
