Considering CATL SoTL Seed Project Grant Application - Due March 31
by Kristin Reynolds 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Hi everyone, First, Jarod has created a new email list serve for our clinical area faculty and staff. Please use this one going forward! Second, I am wondering what your thoughts are on submitting a clinical area proposal to the CATL SoTL Seed Project Grant: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Support Fund provides opportunities for professors, instructors, and librarians to meaningfully engage in projects that enhance the learning experience and success of UM students. Traditionally, our class sizes are quite small in clinical psychology and provide an intimate learning space for students to engage and practice clinical skills in assessment and intervention. With our expansion, doubling our cohort size, as well as our courses that are offered to both school psychology and clinical psychology graduate students, the structure, processes, and practices of our clinical training will be changing. In my view, it could be wonderful to collect data from students and faculty regarding their learning and engagement experiences, as we move forward with changes. It could also be helpful to scan and survey existing Canadian U15 graduate programs in clinical psychology to better-understand their cohort and class sizes and approaches to teaching and mentoring. Applications are due March 31 and the maximum amount awarded is $6,000. I would be glad to take the lead on this application if there was interest in exploring this from an area perspective. Thanks for considering, and all the best, Kristin Kristin Reynolds, Ph.D., C. Psych.
