Early Educator Institute (EEI)

Led by Carol Bormann Young (Metropolitan State University), EEI scholarships are available to junior faculty members currently in their first through fifth years of teaching. The goals of the EEI include:

• Providing opportunities to increase self-awareness around teaching preferences, learning styles, and how to frame a teaching experience for students
• Exploring a wide variety of approaches to pedagogy, demystify some of the approaches to pedagogy, and recognize that not every pedagogical approach works for everyone
• Start to develop your pedagogical identity by asking you to consider: What do you want your students to learn? Who are your learners? What learning experience should you provide that meets their needs?
• And much more!
