Rosenkranz Award for Pedagogical Advancement Showcase

Join us for the 2026 Rosenkranz Award for Pedagogical Advancement Showcase. In this showcase you will see innovative teaching projects developed by Yale instructors who received Rosenkranz funding to advance student learning. Awardees used their grants to design and implement meaningful pedagogical interventions, from new course structures and digital tools to experiential learning opportunities and multimedia content. At this event, instructors will share the outcomes of their projects, reflect on lessons learned, and discuss how their work supports deeper student engagement and improved learning experiences. 

Want to learn more about other pedagogical innovations? Join us right after this session at the Open Educational Resources Showcase (3:30-4:30pm), which will feature language faculty experiences creating open access textbooks in the ongoing Pressbooks pilot.
