ITS Application Form - 2020/2021
Thank you for your interest in the Innovative Teaching Scholars program! Please answer the following questions to help us select the inaugural cohort.

IMPORTANT:
- There are no right or wrong answers. We are looking for candidates with different levels of teaching experience, and from different disciplines.
- Only the Stanford ITS team will have access to your responses. We will not share responses with anyone at or outside of your university without your permission.
-Please review the dates and times for the course sessions in the following document: http://bit.ly/ITS2020-info. Attendance to all sessions is required.
- You need to apply alongside one colleague from your same department (even if you don’t teach together). Each person should complete their own application via this form. Question 23 will ask for the name of your colleague.
- We estimate that completing this application will take about 20-30 minutes. There are 24 questions, both multiple choice and open-ended questions, and all are required. Please browse all the questions before you star, and set aside the time to answer thoughtfully.

Thanks, and we look forward to reading your application!
