CTE TEAM ACCOLADES

"I advocate for procedures and structures that enable POD to strengthen its commitment to equity in educational development." - Adriana Streifer

International Journal for Academic Development
CTE Faculty Receive IJAD Article of the Year Award

Assistant Director Lindsay Wheeler and Associate Director Dorothe Bach's article "Understanding the impact of educational development interventions on classroom instruction and student success" was unanimously selected by a panel of judges as the International Journal for Academic Development's 2021 Article of the Year. This is the premier journal in our field.

In short, the article provides a wealth of evidence that suggests the more faculty invest in working with centers like ours, the more likely they are to produce learning-focused syllabi, employ active learning in their classrooms, and see lower failure rates for their traditionally underserved students.
