Grants 

Each year CETL's Advisory Committee offers Northern faculty two funding opportunities: 

  • CETL Pedagogy Grants (up to $1,000 each) - These grants are awarded to faculty and staff working on projects that focus on active learning, high-impact teaching practices, and community-oriented pedagogies. 
  • OLC Online Teaching Certificate Programs ($3,000 each) - These grants are awarded to faculty who wish to participate in one of two OLC Online Teaching Certificate programs in which faculty create or revise a Northern online course. Faculty can take either the 10-week foundational course or the 12-week advanced online teaching course.
