Teaching Enrichment Grants
The TMSL program of teaching enrichment grants
encourages TMSL professors to augment and improve classroom teaching
by implementing best educational practices in pedagogy and
assessment. Grant applicants are requested to identify student
learning outcomes for each course, utilize formative and summative
assessment, and make findings regarding student achievement of
learning outcomes. The Assessment Department and the Associate Dean
for Academic Affairs collaborate to evaluate the impact of the grant
program.
