<Title>New CAHSS Teaching and Learning Committee</Title>
<Tagline>Deadline Sept. 23: Adjunct Faculty Welcome to Apply!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Alert:</div>
    <div>From Dean Casper, of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences:</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>Dear colleagues,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Dean's Office is creating a new CAHSS Faculty Teaching and Learning Awards Fund, which will make small grants to faculty members for curricular innovation and redesign.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>It's important that faculty members play a major role in (first) designing the criteria and guidelines for these awards and (then) making recommendations about awarding them. Therefore, we will create a new <strong>CAHSS Teaching and Learning Advisory Committee</strong>, to be broadly representative of our instructional faculty (including adjunct faculty) and of the different types of courses and pedagogy in our College. This committee will also provide advice to the Dean on other matters related to teaching and learning, including such matters as classroom design and teaching awards. I expect that members of this committee will serve for staggered, multi-year terms, to ensure both regular rotation and continuity.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>I invite nominations and self-nominations for this committee.</strong> If you nominate yourself, please include a c.v. If you nominate someone else, please check whether s/he is interested and arrange for her/him to send a c.v. Members of this committee should have a record of successful teaching. Please send nominations and c.v.'s to Tammy Brown (<a href="mailto:tbrown@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">tbrown@umbc.edu</a>), no later than <span><span>Friday, September 23</span></span>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thanks very much,</div>
    <div>Scott</div>

<Title>Innovation for Teaching Effectiveness Certificate</Title>
<Tagline>For all CAHSS faculty</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">Forwarded from Dean Casper, to all CAHSS faculty:<div><br></div>

    <p><strong><span>THE INNOVATION FOR TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS (INNOVATE)
    CERTIFICATE </span></strong></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>FOR CAHSS FACULTY</span></strong><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>The
    College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) and the Faculty
    Development Center (FDC) are pleased to announce the Innovation for Teaching
    Effectiveness (INNOVATE) Certificate for CAHSS Faculty. This new certificate
    program will support faculty as they adopt and refine evidence-based teaching
    approaches that challenge students, foster their persistence, and cultivate
    their development as 21<sup>st</sup> century professionals and engaged citizens.
    These approaches, informed by the extensive body of research on learning, help
    faculty provide <em>all </em>students with
    deliberate practice in the skills and habits of mind necessary for learning,
    inquiry, creativity, and research. This program is open to all instructional
    faculty—tenured/tenure-track, lecturers, and adjunct—who teach courses in the
    College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and is funded by the College
    and the FDC. The requirements for the two-year certificate program consist of:</span><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Attendance
    at a minimum of 8 programs during the first year and 4 programs during the
    second year, including a kickoff mini-retreat. Programs may be chosen from
    designated FDC sessions, and/or designated sessions at the Provost’s Teaching
    and Learning Symposium, the MLLI Teaching Circle, the Team-Based Learning
    Discussion Group, or other campus pedagogy discussion events (with approval).</span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Participation
    in the first or second year in a class observation cycle with the FDC.</span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Participation
    in the first year in the FDC’s CATALyst program for gathering course midterm
    feedback.</span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Completion
    of a survey provided by the FDC at the beginning of the program and at the end
    of each program year that fosters participants’ reflection on the effect of the
    program on their teaching choices. </span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Help
    with facilitation of sessions at the second-year retreat or other FDC
    programming during the second year.</span></p>
    
    <p><span>·<span>        
    </span></span><span>Completion
    of a teaching improvement project developed throughout the two-year program.
    Such a project could be a course redesign, the integration of active learning
    approaches to existing courses, the introduction of project-based learning to
    courses, the development of sample modules for other faculty on effective use
    of technology in the classroom, etc.</span><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Faculty
    in CAHSS who complete the program will receive the INNOVATE Certificate, and a
    letter will be sent to the department chair and Dean documenting their accomplishment
    for purposes of promotion or tenure. In addition, each participant who
    successfully completes the program will receive a professional development
    stipend of $500.</span><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>We welcome and encourage your participation in this
    exciting new initiative. <strong><em>Participation in the first cohort (2016-2018)
    is limited to 10 faculty. Please apply using the simple form attached—DEADLINE AUGUST
    26, 2016. Applications will be reviewed by the Director of the FDC and
    Associate Dean of CAHSS with the goal of selecting faculty with a range of
    backgrounds and interests. Please send your application to FDC Director, Dr.
    Linda Hodges </em></strong></span><a href="mailto:lhodges@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>lhodges@umbc.edu</span></a><span></span></p>

<Tagline>A one-page summary of parking restrictions and fees</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>(From the Adjunct Faculty Advisory Committee)</p>
    
    <p><span>For adjunct faculty who have found campus parking restrictions
    unclear, current conditions are summarized below.</span></p>
    
    <p>Currently there are
    two ways to pay for parking on campus, by permit or by hour. Permits can be
    bought in advance. There are two types of permits, daily and yearly.<span> </span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><span>Daily
    parking permits are $2 per day. Available in packs of 10 for $20 online, or as needed if bought in person. One may buy as
    many packs as needed, good up to year 2017.</span></li>
    <li>
    <span><span>A
    yearly permit is available for $260. It allows parking in Zones D, only. This
    is on-the-street parking. The permit is good from September 1 to August 31. </span></span><span> </span>
    </li>
    </ol>
    
    <p><strong>Permit parking enforcement:</strong></p>
    <p></p>
    
    <p>Permit parking is enforced from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday
    through Thursday, and Friday from 7:00 to 3:30. p.m.</p>
    
    <p>After 3:30 and
    during the summer, from May 19 to August 26, faculty/staff with permits can
    also use the A &amp; C zones, which have more spaces.<span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong>There is a $40 penalty for parking
    in the wrong zone</strong> </p>
    
    <p>Three levels of appeal:</p>
    
    <p>            Waive:  $0 additional</p>
    
    <p>            Warning:  $7 on top of fee</p>
    
    <p>            Guilty:  $7 on top of fee<span> </span></p>
    
    <p><strong>Metered Parking</strong></p>
    
    <p>The university
    replaced the meters that took quarters in fall 2015.  Electronic meters in metered parking lots cost
    $2 per hour. <span> </span></p>
    <ol>
    <li><span>The
    Administration Drive Garage area on top of the garage, near the Retriever
    Activities Center, is the largest metered lot. Circling the lot to find a space
    may take up to a half hour on the most crowded days, but usually a spot opens
    up.</span></li>
    <li><span><span>The
    Commons Drive Garage, behind The Commons building, is a small lot. Small lots
    almost always filled include Lot 9, near PAHB. </span></span></li>
    </ol>
    
    <p><strong>There is a $20 penalty for an expired
    meter</strong></p>
    
    <p>            Appeal:  $7 on top of fee</p>
    
    <p><strong>Note: Do not appeal meter fines. Appealing on meters does not
    win</strong><span>. Parking Services says
    that a meter is either expired or not; no exceptions.</span></p>
