Lisa Ede Innovative Instructor Grant

Apply for the Lisa Ede Innovative Instructor Grant

In years past, in recognition of Lisa Ede's leadership, continued inspiration, and contributions to outstanding teaching throughout our region, TYCA-Pacific Northwest has recognized two-year college teachers in our region who exemplify innovation and creativity in the teaching of English, who have demonstrated outstanding teaching strategies that motivate students to excellence, and/or who have made a contribution to the field of English instruction at the two-year college level through professional development, publications, or service.

This year, in remembrance of her spirit of innovation and pedagogical wonder, TYCA-PNW has re-envisioned the award. We are very excited to now offer individual classroom or research grants which focus on enriching the student experience in the composition classroom and fostering new pedagogical approaches to the teaching of composition via research and faculty collaboration.

Applications for up to $500 are due by January 15, 2024, and recipients will be announced by March 1, 2024. Applications will be approved by committee members from the TYCA-PNW Regional Executive Committee.
