Associates, who may be faculty or staff, also work with the AEA to facilitate academic year-long workgroups on focused topics of interest to teachers at Creighton. AEA Associates are provided $2,000 for their personal faculty development use in each of their two years in the program. The Associates are competitively selected from applicants across the university. Each year, each AEA Associate will:
- Provide four one-hour faculty development workshops or two semester-long workgroups (or some combination thereof), and at least one Time-Out for Lunch discussion group.
- Participate in monthly discussions with other AEA Associates about teaching, learning, and assessment issues.
- Become part of the Creighton community of teachers and scholars interested in building a culture of assessment and learner-centered teaching at our university.
