University Teaching Fellowship Program: With summer grants of $7000 and ongoing, interdisciplinary discussions, the University Teaching Fellows program aims to help our most intellectually sound and successful junior faculty members develop into exceptionally fine teachers. Excellence in Diversity Fellowship Program: This Program offers incoming junior faculty one-year Fellowships to help them develop productive long-term careers at the University of Virginia. Originally funded by the Provost and by the Deans of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the Program now receives permanent support from the University of Virginia. Professors As Writers: Funded by the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement, the Professors As Writers program supports U.Va. faculty in their academic and professional writing. Tomorrow's Professor Today: A professional development program designed for graduate and postdoctoral students and co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research & Graduate Studies, the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Teaching + Technology Initiative: This program, funded by the Provost and ITC, sponsors faculty fellows with projects integrating teaching and technology. Teaching + Technology Support Partners: The TTSP program, funded by the Provost and ITC, provides training for a graduate student to give faculty within a department or school support in using new technologies for teaching innovation. Schools and departments with a substantial undergraduate population are eligible. International Teaching Assistants Program: A program, co-sponsored with the Center for American English Language and Culture (CAELC), designed to assist International Graduate Students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and who are prospective Teaching Assistants for their departments. University-Wide Teaching Workshops: A schedule of workshops offered each semester, as well as an archive of past workshops. TA Development Grants: These grants help departments improve their professional development programs for for graduate student TAs and encourage faculty mentoring of graduate students as teachers. Unfortunately, state budget reductions have eliminated funding for TA Development Grants for the present. Undergraduate Student Focus Groups: This program attempts to foster an ongoing dialogue about teaching and learning between undergraduate students and faculty members and TAs. University Teaching Initiative: An initiative of the Faculty Senate funded by the Provost from 1998-2001, this program grew from the University-wide Self Study process (1994-95). The Teaching Resource Center collaborated with the Faculty Senate to strengthen the incentives for superior teaching by funding individual faculty teaching projects and to develop school and university-wide programs for enhancing apprenticeship teaching and the effectiveness of the learning experience for both undergraduate and graduate students.
