The CATL Scholars Program

The purpose of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) Scholars program is to nurture highly innovative teaching and learning. Echoing the Elon Teacher-Scholar statement, the CATL Scholar’s program is designed so that participants both engage deeply with the shared goals of our academic community and develop “the unique gifts” that each individual Scholar possesses.

Each CATL Scholar will be awarded a two-year fellowship. CATL Scholar compensation per year will be a two course teaching reduction and a $2000 faculty development fund to be used to pay for expenses relating to the CATL Scholar’s project.

Up to four new CATL Scholars will be named each academic year. Each CATL Scholar will have two core responsibilities:

1. To undertake an ambitious teaching and learning initiative that the Scholar proposes;

2. To work collaboratively with other Scholars on CATL initiatives.

Eligibility

All full-time teaching faculty at Elon are eligible to apply. We anticipate that most CATL Scholar applications will be from individuals, but teams of faculty are welcome to apply.

To Apply

2009-2011 CATL Scholar applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m., October 3, 2008. Selections will be made by a faculty committee, and the new cohort will be announced by the middle of October. For more information, contact Peter Felten (x5100, pfelten@elon.edu) or visit the CATL web site at www.elon.edu/catl.
