Teacher Incentive Program Awards 2004-2005

The University of Central Florida Teaching Incentive Program (UCF-TIP) rewards faculty for teaching productivity and excellence.

Selection criteria include teaching quality and effectiveness, commitment to instruction, innovation, creativity, and productivity based on a portfolio of assignments and evaluations collected over the previous 4 academic years. The selection committee is comprised of faculty members and one student within the College. Award recipients receive a $5,000 salary increase.
