Re: President's Teaching Award Nominations
The university-wide President's Teaching Award recognizes sustained excellence in teaching, research in teaching, and the integration of teaching and research. We encourage nominations of colleagues whose achievements are truly outstanding for this very special form of recognition by the University of Toronto.
President's Teaching Award winners receive an annual professional development allowance of $10,000 for five years. Recipients of a President's Teaching Award are also designated by the University as a member of the Teaching Academy for a minimum period of five years; those wishing to continue participation in the Academy after this term may elect to do so.
Members of the Teaching Academy meet regularly as a body to discuss matters relevant to teaching in the University, offer advice to the Vice President and Provost and the Director of the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation (CTSI), assist in the assessment of teaching when required and function as advocates for excellence in teaching within and without the University. Members of the Teaching Academy have also been asked to participate in a range of university events, including addressing Convocation, delivering public lectures, participating in conferences and new faculty orientations, or facilitating teaching and learning workshops.
Nomination and Selection Process
The President's Teaching Award winners are determined by a process of nomination and selection by a committee chaired by the Vice-President and Provost. Nominations are solicited through the Deans of Faculties who request submissions from within their divisions. The office of the Dean is responsible for the compilation of documentation but they may request assistance from the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation.
The nomination dossier should include strong evidence of excellence in the classroom, innovation in the development and delivery of the curriculum, publication of textbooks or books or articles on pedagogy, participation in major conferences or meetings relating to pedagogy, local, national or international teaching recognition, and letters of reference attesting to the nominee's outstanding leadership in teaching. When preparing a nomination package, nominators should consult the Selection Procedures & Nomination Guidelines (see http://www.provost.utoronto.ca/Awards/presidentaward.htm).
Nominators may wish to attend the Brown Bag lunchtime discussion hosted by the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation: Preparing a Nomination Dossier for the President's Teaching Award on November 24th from 12noon to 1:30pm. To register, please visit: http://www.utoronto.ca/ota/events
The nomination deadline is 12 February 2010.
Enquiries regarding the President's Teaching Award and nomination procedures should be directed to Pam Gravestock, Associate Director, Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation (CTSI) at 416-946-8585 (t) or p.gravestock@utoronto.ca
