Interested faculty and academic staff members should contact Maria Cuzzo, Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at mcuzzo@uwsuper.edu or x8482.  Self-nominations to be UW-Superior's Teaching Fellow or Scholar will be accepted until November 12, 2012, by completing the forms below and submitting them to Maria Cuzzo:

Wisconsin Teaching Fellow and Scholar Application Form 2013-2014

Wisconsin Teaching Fellow and Scholar Budget Sheet Form 2013-2014

All submissions will be reviewed by a sub-committee from the CETL Advisory Committee, followed by Final Recommendations for the Fellow and Scholar to the Provost.  OPID System deadline for selections is November 16, 2012.

OPID's WTFS Program was awarded the prestigious 2005 TIAA-CREF Theodore M. Hesburgh Certificate of Excellence, receiving recognition for the system-wide approach and impact, the diversity of discipllines and institutions represented, and the development of communities of teacher-scholars within and across institutions.   OPID's WTFS Program is currently directed by Jane Ewens of UW-Waukesha and Nancy Chick of UW-Barron.

The Wisconsin Teaching Fellowsgroup will include outstanding early-career, untenured faculty and teaching academic staff.  The Wisconsin Teaching Scholars group will include outstanding tenured faculty and experienced academic staff.  Candidates must be exceptional teachers who publicly share their expertise and demonstrate leadership.  Participants in the WTFS Program should be familiar with Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research.  Each participant undertakes a significant SoTL project, records the project's progress on an electronic poster, and disseminates the results in public forums.  Teaching Fellows and Scholars are expected to serve as leaders and mentors in campus and UW System SoTL work.

The WTFS Program also requires attendance at several OPID-sponsored events throughout the year, beginning with Faculty College in May at UW-Richland, followed by a one-week Summer Institute in June at UW-Madison, a fall seminar, and culminating with OPID's annual Spring Conference. 

Each UW Institution may select two participants annually for the Fellows and Scholars Program.  Each Fellow and Scholar will receive $4,000 in financial support from their institution and a $500 S&E grant from OPID.
