General Project Proposal Format Guidelines
I. Abstract
Please provide an abstract of no more than 1-3 pages. This abstract should contain:
- Your proposed teaching/learning topic
- Your experience with this topic
- What you currently know about the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL) on this topic
- Describe the benefits of learning about this topic both for you and for other faculty at Valpo
II. Selective Curriculum Vitae
The curriculum vitae should focus on teaching and SoTL (such as, emphasize publications, presentations, and performances that are related to teaching and learning and include courses taught).
A few tips for preparing an effective vitae are:
- Prominently display your title or position along with your name.
- Date the document.
- Give your birth date, not your age.
- State your primary and secondary fields of specialization along with your position.
- List your professional positions in reverse chronological order.
- Use separate headings for books, published articles, and papers presented orally at international, national, regional, or statewide conferences.
- List the courses you have taught.
- Provide some evidence that you are a good teacher.
