Campus teaching awardsAnother initiative includes working with committees that honor the teaching of individual faculty members. KU has a program with over 20 annual teaching awards ranging from $3000 to $5000 for each recipient. The nomination processes for these awards have been very traditional, consisting of letters from students and colleagues attesting to the dedication, preparation, and brilliance of nominees. One award committee asked nominators to follow the outline of an SoTL account of teaching. The protocol requested a peer review of teaching materials, including samples of student work. That review focused on intellectual content, course design, depth and breadth of student performance, and evidence of growth in teaching from consideration of students' learning. We are interested to learn how teaching awards are handled at our partner institutions. |
