The AMATYC Award for Teaching Excellence is given in odd-numbered years to
outstanding two-year college mathematics instructors from each of the eight
AMATYC regions. Nominees must be AMATYC members currently employed as
classroom instructors in a two-year college or other institution granting
only associate degrees and must have a minimum of 5 years of teaching
experience.
Good teaching is the main focus of the award. Criteria for selection
include instructional effectiveness and support of students, professional
involvement and professional development/renewal activities, interaction
with colleagues, and service to departments/division/college. In order to
make a regional award, there must be a minimum of three nominees from the
region. Each awardee receives a medallion from AMATYC and a $500 check
donated by Faculty Development Programs.
COMPLETE NOMINATION PACKETS MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 1, 1998. For more
information about the award criteria, the nomination process, and
nomination materials, contact Susan S. Wood (swood@jsr.cc.va.us). You can
