INNOVATION IN TEACHING

Awards of Recognition to College Faculty in Conjunction
with the ACCC Annual Conference

Introduction

The intent of the awards is to recognize innovations in teaching
throughout the college system, and to collect documentation on
these innovations so that it can be shared with other faculty
across Canada. This year the awards will be organized as an
experiment or pilot project.

This award is open to all”current full time and part time faculty
of ACCC member Institutions. The awards are not to be construed
as a competition, but rather as 4 recognition of teaching
activity that is novel, unique and of a calibre that can be
shared amongst college faculty across the country.

Terms of Reference

The Innovation in Teaching Awards are intended to become an
ongoing activity of the Association of Canadian Community
Colleges, operating in conjunction with the Annual Conference
Planning Committee. In 1987 this activity will be conducted as 4
pilot project. The awards will recognize a cross-section of
innovations in teaching, highlighting the variety of different
innovations from the different regions of Canada. The awards
will be presented in both official languages.

The awards will be presented on June lst, 1987 at the ACCC Annual
Conference Opening Ceremonies. Six awards for innovation in
teaching will be presented, as well as 6 Honourable Mentions, one
from each region. Recipients of the award will receive a
certificate and plaque acknowledging their achievements. A brief
description of their innovation will be printed and circulated to
ACCC constituent members.

To be eligible for nomination for an award, the innovative
practice in teaching need not have commenced in the current year,
but must have been active during the 12 months previous to the
presentation of that year's awards.
