Description
The Spectrum Institute for Teaching and Learning (SITL) offers these competitive mini-grants to promote and enhance scholarship specifically related to the Spectrum of Teaching Styles. The program supports Spectrum advocates presenting practical or research-based work at international-level conferences where presentation abstracts undergo peer review. The presentation must address the Spectrum itself.
Support is available for both in-person and online presentations. In-person awards help defray conference registration, travel, and accommodation expenses associated with presenting. Online support is limited to the conference registration fee. The program accepts applications from master’s and doctoral students, university faculty, teachers, and coaches, with funding routed through the principal presenter’s nonprofit institution.
