Teaching

The Teaching Component's primary objective is to improve proposer's teaching effectiveness. Projects are expected to:

• present substantial new professional challenges to proposers (e.g., pedagogical issues or knowledge or skills acquisition);
• relate directly to current or planned UW Oshkosh courses and programs;
• produce tangible evidence of professional development (e.g., preparation of new teaching materials, teaching methods, courses, or sub-programs; or conference papers and publications).
