Deans' Teaching Showcase

During each spring semester, college Deans identify outstanding instructors within their units. Thirteen nominees (allocated proportionally by total number of affiliated faculty) are announced (one per week) through the semester. These instructors are invited to an end-of-term luncheon where they receive formal recognition and a small token of appreciation from the CTL.

Beginning in 2017, Deans' Teaching Showcase winners are considered for the university-wide CTL Instructional Awards in targeted areas. Awards will be given for exceptional large classroom/introductory teaching, innovative or outside the classroom teaching methods, curriculum development, and/or assessment. Each awardee is asked to make a presentation at a CTL event the following fall, sharing exceptional contributions and formally receiving recognition. Recipients may also take part in the next selection process.
