Abstract

The Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning was initiated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The aim of this initiative is to create a scholarship of teaching and learning that will improve the quality of student learning and raise the status of teaching and learning in higher education. One component of the Academy, The Pew Scholars National Fellowship Program, is a five-year, $6 million project funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The discipline of Management was one of four fields of study selected for the first year of this project. In this symposium, three of the four Pew Scholars in Management will describe the project each is undertaking in their own teaching work. All three of the projects involve the use of student teams in class projects, and integrated approaches to teaching traditional management concepts. Next, we will discuss the larger issue of the scholarship of teaching and issues we face in that regard on our campuses. Finally, we will discuss funding opportunities available in the other facets of the Carnegie Academy.
