Certificates to Support Teaching

IMPACT

The Intentional and Meaningful Pedagogy to Achieve Classroom Transformations (IMPACT) certificate addresses the basic pedagogical elements that make high-impact practices so transformative and guides you to apply high-impact practices to a new course or an existing course that you want to improve.

ASCEND

ASCEND, Advance Equity & Student Success, is a data-driven professional learning program that enables college instructors and administrators to learn how students are experiencing courses and what they can do to make those experiences more equitable, more engaging, and more supportive of student success.

SOLE

The Science of Learning and Equity Faculty Learning Community (SOLE-FLC) framework is centered on empirically-based strategies for learning and support of faculty with the goal of improving student learning outcomes and decreasing equity gaps. The community members will work together to consider how the science of learning research can be incorporated into their teaching and student learning. Full-time and part-time faculty from across CSUF are invited to participate in a cohort comprising up to 10 faculty.

Teaching Grants

The Faculty Development Center (FDC) announces the annual call for applications for the Faculty Enhancement and Instructional Development (FEID) Award. The goal of the FEID award is to support faculty in instructional improvement which leads to increased student success, thereby supporting the University’s Strategic Plan.

Grant Writing Academy

The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects proudly announces the establishment of the CSUF Grant Writing Academy. The Academy offers three levels of training to CSUF faculty members who seek assistance with writing grant proposals to support their research and creative activities. Each level of training—beginning (101), intermediate (201), and advanced (301)—is designed to help faculty sharpen their grant writing skills and successfully apply for internal and external grants; the 101 and 201 levels are facilitated by CSUF faculty and the 301 level is facilitated by Hanover Research, an independent consulting firm. Training consists of in-person and virtual workshops, as well as one-on-one coaching from Grant Writing Academy instructors. Faculty members who complete all three levels of training will receive a certificate of completion. There are limited enrollment capacities in each course.
