Description
Administered by American University’s Center for Faculty Excellence, this annual award recognizes faculty who have made significant contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). It honors research-based analyses of teaching practices or curricular design, connecting scholarly inquiry with the work of teaching in post-secondary education.
SoTL involves systematically assessing teaching practices and sharing findings publicly so others can learn from them. At its core is classroom research into the effects of an instructor’s own teaching, although projects can extend across classes or institutions. The award highlights evidence-based findings that inform classroom practice and have broader implications for the AU community or a faculty member’s field. Previous recipients have examined active learning, equitable participation, racial dynamics in marketing education, and future teachers’ perceptions of dyslexia.
