Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Writing Winning Teaching Award Nominations

Registration for this event is now closed.
Schedule: Wednesday, December 04, 2013, 12:00 PM – 01:30 PM
Location: Erie G141
Instructors: Bev Hamilton, Peter Marval, Jessica Raffoul

Developing teaching awards nominations is an important way to ensure that excellent teaching gets the recognition it deserves. It can also be an intensive professional development opportunity for the faculty members and nominating team involved.

At this workshop, members of the University’s external teaching award nomination team will walk you through the processes of:

  • choosing the right award and understanding its basic requirements,
  • identifying teaching strengths and working with them,
  • knowing what to collect,
  • identifying ways to save time and effort, and
  • helping people write about teaching, whether they’re letter writers, nominees, or nominators.

By the end of the session, you’ll be ready for project planning, whether you’re part of a nomination team, or just thinking about getting started.
