HCM Community,
We wanted to share a quick reminder about nominations for the 2021 Excellence in Teaching Award, awarded by the Health Care Management Division's Teaching Committee. Nominations are sought from HCM members, and to date we are in need of nominations for this year's honor! To learn more about the award and what's required in a nomination, please see the additional details shared below. If you have any questions or considerations regarding this award, please don't hesitate to share them with either Tracy Porter (t.h.porter@csuohio.edu) or Patrick Shay (pshay@trinity.edu).
The Award: The Excellence in Teaching Award recognizes innovative and outstanding teaching that takes place in our classrooms and provides the opportunity to encourage, recognize, and reward the work of excellent, dedicated, and inspiring teachers. The winner will be announced at the annual meeting and recognized with a plaque during the Division's business meeting and awards ceremony.
Eligibility: All members of a University-level academic staff, tenured or on full time contract, are eligible. Recipients must have been employed in a teaching position for at least three years within higher education. Award winners will not be eligible for re-nomination for 3 years. Self-nominations are acceptable. Individuals who have been previously nominated in the past two years but were not selected to receive the award are automatically included in consideration as nominees for the current year's recognition.
Applicants will be assessed on the basis of their success in developing effective teaching methods, courses, and/or teaching materials that generate student learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and/or research. Nominees must exhibit: a commitment to teaching health care management; stimulate active, continuous learning; inspire excellence in students' achievements; promote independent learning; and, create an environment for the development of critical and open thought.
Nomination Procedures: Nominations should include the "nomination materials" listed above and be submitted to Tracy Porter (t.h.porter@csuohio.edu), Chair of the HCM Teaching Committee. Selection will be made by the members of the HCM Teaching Award Selection Committee, an ad hoc committee that is assembled each year within the Health Care Management Division's Teaching Committee.
