Nominations being accepted for TLA Academy Awards; ceremony is June 2

Nominations are now being accepted for the Teaching-Learning Academy's Academy Awards.

TLA members nominate individuals and groups who embody one or more of the responses to the big question that the TLA has studied all year.

The big question for this year is "What do we mean by a sustainable, reflective learning culture, and how might we use that shared understanding to strengthen connections:

• between existing resources and members of the campus community to provide individualized guidance and co-mentoring?
• between the lived experiences of teachers and learners outside of the classroom and what is happening in the classroom to provide engaging learning experiences?
• across borders within WWU and between WWU and external communities to provide interdisciplinary/ community-based learning experiences?"

The Teaching-Learning Academy's goal is to recognize widely, so everyone who is nominated with an appropriate rationale (based on the TLA's big question) receives an award.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, May 21. Nominations for the awards may be submitted for individuals and for groups.
