Teaching Award Guidelines
EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS IN TEACHING
Please describe the nominee's success in teaching by providing a
narrative of the nominee's background, experience, teaching style,
special contributions, and other related information not already included
in the Nomination Form. Limit this portion to no more than four pages,
which must be typewritten and double-spaced on one side only of an 8
1/2 x 11 paper. Type size, whether word processor or typewriter, should
be no smaller than 12 point (pica) in size.
You are also required to submit no more than 3 pages of evidence to
document the nominee's extraordinary teaching success. Appropriate
documentation may vary greatly from institution to institution but may
include summaries of peer or student evaluations and comments on
teaching and other information specific to the nominee's
accomplishments, such as increases in numbers of mathematics majors
or Ph.D. candidates (with clear evidence of the substantial responsibility
of the candidate for these increases); or if a strength of the candidate is
preparing students for competitions, then student success in these
competitions should be cited.
In addition, you may include a maximum of five letters of
recommendation (limited to one page each) with at least two from the
nominee's present or former students and at least two from colleagues
(one of whom could be the department chair).
Curricula vitae should not be submitted since the information from them
relevant to teaching success should be included in the Nomination Form
and other documents mentioned above.
