Purpose

Since 2005, the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CETLA) has sponsored a Unit Participation Award to recognize the Howard University school or college that has achieved the highest level of participation in CETLA's professional development activities.  CETLA presents the award because a high level of participation represents a commitment to improving teaching, learning, and assessment--a commitment worth celebrating and emulating across the campus. 

 

Eligibility

All Howard University schools and colleges are eligible.  

 

Procedures

No applications or nominations are required.  Using data from CETLA's registration database and the Office of Institutional Research, CETLA calculates the percentage of each unit's faculty who participated during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).   If the unit achieved at least a 40% participation rate, then CETLA computes a final score.  To ensure that size does not place any unit at a disadvantage, CETLA weights the results to reflect frequency of participation:  The weight equals the number of faculty who participated more than once divided by the number of CETLA's unique visitors.
 

Recognition

CETLA presents a plaque to the Dean of the winning school or college at a university-wide event (e.g., a Faculty Showcase or Council of the Deans' meeting).
