Application Process

How to become a member. (Live Web Stream of February 6 presentation livepresentation2-6-07)

Those seeking membership should consider whether they have the time available to devote 5-10 hours per month to dedicate to the service of the Academy. Additionally, building a portfolio is a time consuming process that may include workshops in addition to the effort just gathering personal information.

Should the Academy receive an overwhelming response, a lottery process may be used to determine which faculty will be asked to submit application. Those faculty will be asked to submit 3 copies each of an educational portfolio, a CV, and a letter of recommendation from their Chair. The portfolio will be the primary basis for selection into the Academy. Each applicant will be reviewed by a primary and secondary reviewer who will make recommendations to the panel. The members of the panel will study and score each portfolio then vote on the selection into the Academy.

To build your portfolio, please refer to the Academy's Portfolio Template and the subsequent Companion Document. These will be the tools used to complete personal portfolios for review by the Selection Committee. For assistance, workshops will be offered and mentors will be available.
