Recognizing and Rewarding Educators: A Discussion about Teaching Academics

Nationally, many of our peer institutions have built successful teaching academies to enhance the culture for education at their institutions, provide faculty development in teaching and learning, foster innovation and education scholarship, and promote the careers of clinician educators. In this podcast, Dr. Sheila Chauvin shares her experiences forming and growing a Teaching Academy at Louisiana State University, and what she has learned by helping other institutions embark on similar academy development initiatives at other institutions across the nation. Dr. Chauvin describes the many benefits of teaching academies, as well as the importance of tailoring academies to local institutional contexts.
