A brief description of the program(s):
The Ohio State University, University Center for the Advancement of Teaching (UCAT), supports the Faculty Learning Community on Sustainability Across the Curriculum program. The Ohio State Teaching and Enhancement Program (OSTEP) community offers faculty a year-long opportunity to focus on infusing sustainability issues into an existing class or designing a new class to focus on those issues. Participants will work on their target classes as part of a community of peers. This program has been designed to expand the inventory of classes at Ohio State that focus on sustainability as a lens through which students will examine and act upon our shared world systems, including but not limited to energy, environment, food systems, economic justice, and globalization.
Participants are supported in developing course content, student activities, and appropriate pedagogies by establishing collegial relationships across disciplines and reinforcing a faculty culture that brings the scholarship of teaching and research together.
The UCAT program was available during the 2010-2011, 2011-2012, & 2012-2013 academic years. As interest in this sustainability across-the-curriculum warrants, the program will be offered in future academic years. The program is open to faculty for all Ohio State campuses.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
Each participant will receive $1000 for teaching enhancement activities (e.g., attending a teaching conference; purchasing books on teaching; et al.).
