Attention: Faculty, Staff and Administrators
Project: NISOD Teaching Excellence Awards
Deadline for Nominations: December 1, 2006
The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning sponsors an annual awards program to honor excellence in teaching at Madison Area Technical College. Each year two distinguished faculty members will be honored with this award which includes attendance at the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development Conference in Austin, Texas.
Since its inception in 1978, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) has emphasized the importance of teaching and leadership excellence in institutions of higher education. NISOD has worked to serve, engage and inspire teachers and leaders through our conferences, publications, web services, partnerships, programs and more. In 1989, in connection with a University of Texas national study of teaching excellence, NISOD hosted its first ceremony, held in conjunction with our annual International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence, honoring and naming the individuals featured in this study as recipients of the NISOD Excellence Award. The Excellence Awards tradition allows us the distinct privilege of honoring so many of the world's best in higher education.
Please consider nominating one of your colleagues for these distinguished awards. Successful nominees will have demonstrated teaching experiences that have led to enhanced student learning, have engaged colleagues in the sharing of best practices in teaching and learning in their content area, have demonstrated consistent leadership in faculty and/or staff development designed to enhance teaching and learning, have engaged in the development of innovative approaches designed to support the learning of all students and/or have demonstrated service to the college that has advanced the Learning College principles.
You can read more about NISOD and their awards program and conference on the NISOD Website.
The selection criteria and nomination process is clearly described on the attached two-page Teaching Excellence Award Program handout (pdf).
Send all Nominations to Patrick Barlow at CETL — a cross functional team from CETL and the Learning Centers will review nominations and select award winners. Deadline for Nominations: December 1, 2006.
