Archaeological Institute of America's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate
Teaching
The Archaeological Institute of America invites applications for its Award
for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. This award is to honor
excellence in the undergraduate teaching of archaeology in the United
States and Canada and is presented at the Annual Meeting of the Institute.
It may be awarded to up to three individuals every year. Each winner will
receive a certificate of award and a cash prize. A committee of
experienced teachers of archaeology and previous winners of the award
oversee the selection of the recipients.
Individuals worthy of this award must have demonstrated excellence in the
teaching of archaeology (defined in the broadest sense chronologically and
geographically); they may have developed innovative teaching methods or
interdisciplinary curricula; they must have a minimum of five years of
teaching experience prior to being nominated and currently be engaged in
teaching; and they must be members of the AIA in good standing.
Nominations should be made by letter and accompanied by a dossier of
supporting materials. They should be made by individuals familiar with the
candidate's teaching, such as administrators, departmental chairpersons or
colleagues, former students, or faculty in other departments or
institutions.
Dossiers should include: the nominating letter indicating how the
candidate meets the criteria of the award; a current curriculum vitae of
the nominee; four letters of support, which should include at least one
each from a student, a colleague, and an academic superior; and a brief
description of all relevant courses taught during the past five years,
including some representative syllabi and course materials.
The nominating dossier should be sent to the committee no later than June
1st. Only dossiers which are complete by this deadline will be considered.
If the Committee deems it necessary, it may request additional information
after the dossiers have been reviewed. The Teaching Award recipients will
be notified in the autumn before the Annual Meeting.
Please send all nominations and inquiries to:
Excellence in Teaching Awards Committee
