The fellowship program will be in the summer of 2018, for implementation in the 2018-19 academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Library will offer three stipends of $1,000 each (after taxes) to ACU faculty or faculty-sponsored graduate teaching assistants to develop effective teaching content and learning experiences for ACU students. Teaching Fellows must be full time ACU faculty or graduate teaching assistants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Library\u2019s Special Collections include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> more than 450 collections of 20th Century personal papers in the Center for Restoration Studies, including the papers of best-selling author Max Lucado, as well as many editors, missionaries, leaders, churches and organizations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> books in a wide variety of disciplines, including, but not limited to, music, children\u2019s literature, railroad history, literature, politics, patristics, translations and editions of the Bible, Ethiopic texts, Texana, and 19th Century textbooks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> digital collections at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.acu.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">digitalcommons.acu.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including photographs, audio and print works<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ACU history and biography<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instruction using the developed lesson plan(s) should be carried out during the 2018-19 academic year. The 2018 Fellows will share their lesson plans in the library\u2019s open-access repository and will participate in a Library-sponsored program in the spring of 2019 to discuss their students\u2019 experiences and outcomes and to reflect on the effectiveness of using primary sources in achieving course goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fellows are expected to spend no less than 20 hours in Special Collections between May 14 and August 10, 2018, doing research with the materials there and consulting with Special Collections librarians and archivists. The completed lesson plan(s) must be received by August 17, 2018, for posting on the library\u2019s open-access repository.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching strategies should include both hands-on sessions where the class visits Special Collections and the use of Special Collections\u2019 digital collections. Fellows may identify items held in Special Collections for possible digitization, subject to copyright law, to the condition of the original item and to the library\u2019s capacity to convert the proposed item.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Applicants should submit a vita and a 1-2 page proposal describing how they would use Special Collections materials in a course, the learning objectives they hope to achieve by doing so, and their method of evaluating whether those objectives are achieved. Graduate teaching assistants should also include a letter of support from their supervising professor explicitly allocating class time for the graduate student to teach the developed lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proposals are due to Dr. Carisse Berryhill <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cmb04c@acu.edu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> no later than <\/span><b>April 2, 2018<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u00a0Proposals will be reviewed by the Special Collections staff and recommended to the Dean of the Library, who will select the Fellows.
