Please use this form to submit information about an innovation or considered in a Leahy Award.

The Teaching and Learning Center of USP will produce the annual document of educational innovations within the university. The aim of these innovations is to improve teaching and learning within our educational programs. This document is disseminated throughout the campus to give increased recognition to individual faculty who strive to improve their teaching as well as to others who assist students to learn more. Hopefully, the document will help faculty in collaborating on new ideas and will inspire others to try new methods to improve their teaching and learning.

All faculty, including full time, part time or adjunct, graduate student instructors, and staff who do formal or informal teaching or supervising clinical experiences are eligible to submit a description of their innovation for the Leahy http://www.usp.edu/teaching/leahy.shtml

Each innovation will be summarized in a two page standard abstract form. The total abstract should fit on – two pieces of letter sized paper. Leahy submissions may include additional materials for the judges. These additional materials will not be included in the annual document book.

Faculty who submitted a nomination for the Patricia Leahy award will automatically be included in the Document of Innovations.

In addition to preparing this abstract, you will need to develop a poster to display at our annual poster session in May.

Faculty who received Teaching and Learning Center grants will be encouraged to describe the innovation they implemented as a result of the grant.
