Trustee
Teaching Awards
2008 Recipients Announced!
The
Award
In June 2000, the Trustees of Indiana University reviewed
the Teaching Excellence Recognition Award (TERA), which had
been established by the Trustees in 1997. The Trustee’s
review process considered surveys of faculty across the campuses
of IU and resulted in a series of recommended changes.
The Trustees formally replaced
TERA with the Trustee’s Teaching Award (TTA) in February
2001. It is to be awarded before the completion of each academic
year to tenured, tenure track faculty, clinical faculty and
full-time lecturers. The TTA is to be awarded to those from
among these groups who have demonstrated they are the best
teachers. The amount of the 2008 awards will be $2,500 and
will be given to no more than
39 faculty in the IU School of Medicine.
Eligibility
Tenured and tenure-track faculty and librarians engaged in
teaching are eligible as are full-time clinical facultyand
full-time lecturers whose primary duties are teaching, including
faculty in the School of Medicine who may be located at medical
centers or be paid by institutions other than Indiana University
(e.g., Clarian, Wishard, VA).
Award recipients must have demonstrated a sustained level of teaching excellence in the form of documented student learning and must have completed at least three years of service at IUPUI to be eligible (appointed on and before 7/1/04). Faculty in their third year at IUPUI at the time the selection is being made would not be eligible.
Call for Nominations
Each
year the Indiana University Board of Trustees recognizes
excellence in teaching through a program known as the Trustee
Teaching Awards. Recipients of this prestigious award receive
a stipend, have their names displayed on a plaque, and are
recognized at award ceremonies at IUSM and at IUPUI. In addition
the IUSM awardees are recognized at the medical school commencement
in May. This year the criterion of excellence in teaching
is the primary factor for selection. We anticipate that approximately
thirty-nine outstanding IUSM teachers will receive the award
this year.
We
need your help identifying IUSM’s best teachers. Please
submit the names of faculty you would like to nominate for
this prestigious award to meca@iupui.edu
by Friday, February 22, 2008.
When
submitting your nomination, please be sure to indicate your
university status (student, resident or faculty) and include
the nominee’s department.
Self-nominations
will not be accepted.
Selection
A review committee,
appointed by Dr. Stephen Leapman, Executive Associate Dean
for Educational Affairs, will select 39 recipients based on
the criterion of excellence in teaching as the primary factor
for selection, including the review of student and/or course
evaluations.
Frequency
Faculty may be eligible
for the TTA annually and may receive an award in successive
years. There is no limitation on the number of awards an individual
may receive. Only one award may be received by an individual
in any year.
The
Award
Each award will be $2,500.
The award takes the form of a cash supplement and is not added
to the recipient’s base salary. The award is subject
to income tax withholding.
Announcement

Those selected will be
honored at the IUSM Commencement (where the awards will be
presented) and the Spring Faculty Meeting. In addition, TTA
recipients will be recognized at the annual campus Chancellor’s
Honors Convocation in April and listed on the IUSM website.
Recipients will also receive a certificate and their names
displayed on a plaque in the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. Previous
