7. The faculty member cannot be scheduled to teach a face-to-face class during the term
they are signed up for a full stipend amount. If a last minute change of schedule puts
the faculty member into a teaching situation, the chair or dean will notify the A-State
Faculty Center and withdraw the nomination.
8. To receive the Stipend award, the faculty member must attend at least 90% of all
sessions for which they are receiving a stipend.
9. To the best knowledge of the Dean or Unit Administrator, the nominated faculty

However, if the Adjunct or TA is routinely assigned to teach classes by the department
and the nominating oﬃcial is reasonably certain that the individual will be teaching at
least half-time during the upcoming academic year (both fall and spring semesters),
then the individual may be nominated. It is the complete responsibility of the Dean or
Unit Administrator to execute whatever paperwork is necessary for the Adjunct or TA
to be employed by the university during the summer months. Full-time faculty will
have priority assignment over Adjuncts and TAs wishing to receive a stipend.
13. If more funding becomes available, A-State Faculty Center will request additional

Reflective Teaching Techniques: Using Multiple Sources of Evidence to Enhance
Teaching and Learning with Dr. Ruth Owens
Faculty members must actively search for ways to examine and reflect on teaching practices. While
student evaluations of teaching (SETs) provide one source of information, research on student ratings

eﬀectiveness. In this session, several sources of teaching-focused information will be discussed, such
as peer observation, mentor or peer coaching, and video analysis with self-ratings. You will leave with
an action plan for gathering evidence that you can use to enhance your teaching and your students’
