Description
|
These one-quarter awards are
intended to give graduate students an opportunity to work on
a specific project focused on teaching and learning at the
college and university level. Projects are to be proposed by
students, who will find faculty Teaching Mentors, either
from UW or from a nearby community college, college, or
university to collaborate with them in their projects.
During the project, these collaborations between the Fellow
and the Mentor should allow the student to benefit from the
faculty member's expertise in teaching, while maintaining a
focus centered on the student's interests. These fellowships
are funded by a private endowment established by Durward and
Susan Huckabay in order to further graduate education at the
University of Washington.
Huckabay Fellowships are
intended to broaden the student's graduate education,
particularly in the area of teaching and learning. Proposals
are evaluated by an interdisciplinary committee.
Any faculty member from UW
or a nearby college or university is eligible to be a
Teaching Mentor. Graduate students benefit from having
multiple faculty mentors, so applicants should consider
working with someone other than their research advisors at
UW. Students can also benefit from working with faculty at
one of the other higher education institutions in the
Seattle area. The Center for Instructional Development and
Research (CIDR) may provide consulting services for proposal
development.
