Posted: February 7, 2024
A.T. Still University’s (ATSU) Teaching & Learning Center (TLC) hosted the annual Innovation in Teaching for Learning Award ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023.
“It’s only been four years, but we have already seen an increase in communication, collaboration, and learning from each other across different departments and schools in places where we didn’t see that before. Additionally, this award has also helped produce new knowledge about evidence-based instructional practices that our students benefit from,” said Quincy Conley, PhD, TLC director.
“At the same time, this award has strengthened and inspired our collective teaching expertise at ATSU. In a real way, this award has served as and continues to serve as a bridge between ideas that have impact. But maybe the most important factor that we’ve seen, as this board has been a fantastic way to celebrate our successes,” he added.
This year’s Innovation in Teaching for Learning Award winner was Jessica Hayes, PT, DPT, assistant professor, ATSU-Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) Physical Therapy department, for “Canvas Learning Pathways.”
