Synopsis:
The Research on Education and Learning (REAL) program represents the substantive foci of three previous EHR programs: Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE), Research in Disabilities Education (RDE), and Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE). What is distinctive about the new REAL program is the emphasis placed on the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to (a) understand, (b) build theory to explain, and (c) suggest interventions (and innovations) to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning, and participation. The program supports advances in research on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning and education by fostering efforts to explore all aspects of education research from foundational knowledge to improvements in STEM learning and learning contexts, both formal and informal, from childhood through adulthood, for all groups, and from the earliest developmental stages of life through participation in the workforce, resulting in increased public understanding of science and engineering. The REAL program will fund research on, human learning in STEM; learning in STEM learning environments, and broadening participation research.

Dear COEHD Faculty,
The U. T. System is seeking nominations for the 2014 Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards. Per Pedro Reyes, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, "The awards will recognize faculty who deliver the highest quality of undergraduate instruction, demonstrate their commitment to teaching, and have a history and promising future of sustained excellence with undergraduate teaching." Tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track award recipients will receive $25,000 each.
The University of Texas at San Antonio will submit the following nominees for consideration of the award: 8 tenured, 3 tenure-track, and 3 non-tenure-track/adjunct instructors for consideration for the awards. Therefore, each college will submit a maximum of the following numbers of nominees:
Tenured Nominees
Tenure-Track Nominees *
Non-Tenure Track/Adjunct *

1
* Nominees must have at least three years teaching experience at the university level.
Below you will find the COEHD timeline for the submission/review process. As you can see, the timeframe is very tight and the awards are quite large. Therefore, it is important that we adhere to the timeline.
The nomination process will be conducted in two phases:
Phase I:
1) Nomination packets should be submitted to Liliana Gutierrez (liliana.gutierrez(a)utsa.edu<mailto:liliana.gutierrez@utsa.edu>) in the COEHD-Office of the Dean no later than Monday, December 2, 2013.
All nomination packets must contain the following materials for Phase I review:
1. A completed application form (attached),
2. A CV that emphasizes teaching accomplishments (maximum: 15 pages) and
3. A written statement delineating their philosophy of teaching (maximum: 3 pages, 12 pt. font).
Information regarding how to compose a quality teaching philosophy statement can be found on-line at http://www.utsa.edu/tlc (click on Faculty, then on Portfolio Resources).
2) Each college will identify their nominees and email their names to Dr. Nancy Martin.
Phase II: The UTSA Award Selection Committee will determine the University's cohort of nominees. These 14 UTSA candidates will develop a full e-portfolio that will be submitted for consideration at the U.T. System level. To make all the candidates more competitive, they will provide resources on teaching portfolios and teaching philosophy statements and opportunities for classroom observations and portfolio reviews.
If the need for further information should arise, please consult the Faculty Awards web site at www.utsa.edu/facultyawards<http://www.utsa.edu/facultyawards> (click on Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards) or contact either Dr. Nancy Martin (nancy.martin(a)utsa.edu<mailto:nancy.martin@utsa.edu>; X 5191) or Dr. Barbara Millis (barbara.millis(a)utsa.edu<mailto:barbara.millis@utsa.edu>; X 7374).
