Recap: Purpose (draft)The Academy for Educational Excellence and Scholarship (Academy) at the University of Michigan Medical School is intended to recognize and augment the educational rigor and innovation of its faculty, to promote faculty development in education/mentoring, foster the visibility of UMMS educational leadership nationally and internationally, and to mobilize these talents to improve educational outcomes. Start first with UMMS – plan to evolve

Academy for Educational Excellence and Scholarship

• a coming together for fellowship around good

teaching and mentoring that promotes better learning- Improvement of self and others

• an opportunity to impact the culture of education (i.e. beyond ones Department or unit) - advocating for the role of faculty in making learning

happen- valuing education; what does it mean to be a

teacher?

Why would faculty want to be a part of this?


Academy Activities Nurture the educational community (educational grand

rounds, Academy membership meetings, special events, communications, etc.)

Faculty development/mentoring Peer-review of educational activities and outcomes Recognition of excellence in education Expert advisory input for institutional planning and decision

making Investigate educational methods at peer institutions and

adopt new ideas to improve education at Michigan Disseminate UMMS leadership and innovation to the larger

educational community

More than an honorific society


Membership Academy Associate

- “low bar” for membership (selection based on participation in education + desire to participate in the work of the academy); no cap on #’s

Academy Fellow- “high bar” for membership; eventually selected from ranks of ‘associates’ by peers; access to salary support/resources; renewable based on contributions to academy as determined by peers; avoid a ‘cap’ - #’s determined by criteria


a. Academy member satisfaction; they feel that they are

providing meaningful value; participation is rewarding; consumer demand to ‘get in’

b. A forum has been created to discuss teaching and learning with good attendance beyond academy members

c. Chairs and Faculty (i.e. non academy members) ascribe value to the Academy; participants are demonstrably better and more satisfied with their roles as educators

d. Better learning and teaching is taking place

By what measures would we claim success at 2, 5 years?
