Truly Innovative Teaching Award
The Truly Innovative Teaching Award was established in 2014 in memory of Harry and Jenny Truly by Elise “Pookie” and Michael Sautter. The Award honors any NMSU instructor system-wide (full- or part-time faculty, staff, or graduate student).
The award recognizes an instructor who has made an innovation in teaching that has positively impacted student attitude, motivation, or learning. The innovation can be unique to you or can be an application of someone else’s innovation. The innovation must also have some connection to the Teaching Academy, i.e., you learned about it here, or you gave a workshop about it here.
The winner is chosen by the Teaching Academy Advisory Board. The award comes with $1,000 and a glass art trophy.
Outstanding Workshop Award
The Outstanding Workshop Award honors the presenter who led the highest rated workshop based upon participant evaluations and input from Teaching Academy staff. The award comes with $1,000 and a glass art trophy for one presenter, or two $500 stipends and two glass art trophies for two presenters.
