The WSU President’s Teaching Academy reminds faculty that May 15 is the deadline to apply for a $500 Outstanding Publication in the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education Award. The award recognizes WSU faculty for an outstanding publication that is either an article or a chapter.
Though not open to academy members, faculty from any discipline at any rank—career-track or tenured/tenure-track—are eligible if you published a peer-reviewed article within the scope of teaching and learning in higher education during 2019 or 2020. The focus of the publication can be conceptual, theoretical, practical, or empirical, and the work may be single- or co-authored.
The straight-forward award application includes a cover letter with a reflection on the manuscript, a pdf copy of the manuscript, and a nomination statement from a colleague familiar with the publication. Academy evaluators will consider the impact and quality of the publication outlet, the innovation and/or originality of the work, the potential impact beyond the author’s discipline, and student populations and inclusivity covered by the topic.
For more information and to submit an application, contact the organization at wsu.teaching.academy@wsu.edu.
