Georgia State Faculty Earn Recognition and Support for Signature Experiences and Excellence in Teaching and Learning

Georgia State Faculty Earn Recognition and Support for Signature Experiences and Excellence in Teaching and Learning

The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning & Online Education (CETLOE) has awarded faculty for outstanding teaching in signature experience courses, and awarded grants and mini-grants to continue the development of innovative and impactful teaching practices.

Signature experiences allow students to apply class content to a real-world sustained experience that they do not typically encounter in the standard classroom. Students create a final project or presentation reflecting on their experiences and the learning they have achieved.

Mini-grants were also given to support faculty in their efforts to expand on current projects or support new ones in five key areas of importance. Click the story link to learn more.
