EDGE Faculty Development

Tech’s EDGE QEP includes a Faculty Development Fund to support activities that directly enhance your knowledge of the EDGE student learning outcomes and pedagogical practices to improve your students’ SLO-related skills. These activities may include (but are not limited to):

• travel to participate in faculty development opportunities;

• tuition to enroll in enrichment courses;

• licenses for educational technology;

• and purchase of shared materials (such as books).

The majority of successful applications typically fall at the level of $1000 or below. Contributing funds from other units (e.g. department or college) are encouraged. Eligibility is restricted to current or previous EDGE course grant or curriculum grant recipients. The QEP Faculty Development Committee reviews funding requests once per regular academic semester (e.g. Fall and Spring). Invitation to apply is made directly by the Director to all eligible applicants each semester.
