Teaching Excellence of the Year Award

Sometime in March, each Division should nominate a prospective candidate who will then prepare a dossier which focuses on the critical responsibilities related to teaching excellence at AMSC during the academic year 2011-2012:

  • exceptional teaching,
  • service to students and colleagues

The dossier, not to exceed twenty pages, should include the following:

  • one or two letters of support from colleagues qualified to comment on the nominee’s teaching. These letters should describe the nominee’s teaching and why he or she is especially effective in advancing student learning. (One should be from the department chair/program administrator). (2-3 pages)
  • A condensed curriculum vitae (2-3 pages)
  • A reflective statement that includes the nominee’s teaching and learning philosophy, strategies, and objectives (2-4 pages)
  • One or two letters of support from recent and/or past students.
  • A well-organized set of documents that provide evidence of the nominee’s teaching excellence (e.g., data showing success of the nominee’s students, selected components of course syllabi, handouts, methods of assessing student learning and achievement that go beyond student evaluations, examinations, summaries or recent student evaluations, peer evaluations, student mentoring/advising, etc.). These documents should be accompanied by a brief explanation of why they are included in the dossier, i.e., how they document the excellence of the nominee’s teaching.
