COEHD Faculty,
Please see the opportunity for a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico next summer. This is a professional development program intended for those with an interest in putting together faculty-led study abroad programs. We are hoping to include people from across all COEHD departments, and Oaxaca is also very family-friendly.

FW: Happy Thanksgiving
by Betty Merchant
Hello Everyone,
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deepest thanks to all of you, for the time and effort you put into making the COEHD such a warm and supportive environment for our students and for each other. The contributions you make in teaching, research, and service and in ensuring that our offices run smoothly and effectively are deeply appreciated. At this time of great suffering for many in the world, we lead comparatively privileged lives, and this time of year reminds us to give thanks for all that we have and to continue to advocate for those who lack the very basic resources they need to live healthily and happily.
Happy Thanksgiving to You and your Loved Ones, Betty

Subject: Regent's Outstanding Teaching Awards 2016
Importance: High
Dear COEHD Faculty,
The U. T. System is seeking nominations for the 2016 Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards. Per Steve Leslie, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, "The awards will recognize faculty who deliver the highest quality of undergraduate instruction, demonstrate their commitment to teaching, and have a history and promising future of sustained excellence with undergraduate teaching." Tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track award recipients will receive $25,000 each.
The University of Texas at San Antonio will submit the following nominees for consideration of the award: 8 tenured, 3 tenure-track, and 3 non-tenure-track/adjunct instructors for consideration for the awards. Therefore, each college will submit a maximum of the following numbers of nominees:
Tenured Nominees
Tenure-Track Nominees *
Non-Tenure Track/Adjunct *
2
1
1
* Nominees must have at least three years teaching experience at the university level.
The nomination of strong candidates who may already have received teaching awards or teaching award nominations is encouraged.
Below you will find the COEHD timeline for the submission/review process. As you can see, the timeframe is very tight and the awards are quite large. Therefore, it is important that we adhere to the timeline.
The nomination process will be conducted in two phases:
Phase I:
1) Nomination packets should be submitted to Liliana Gutierrez (liliana.gutierrez(a)utsa.edu<mailto:liliana.gutierrez@utsa.edu>) in the COEHD-Office of the Dean no later than Tuesday, December 1, 2015.
All nomination packets must contain the following materials for Phase I review:
1. A completed application form (attached),
2. A CV that emphasizes teaching accomplishments (maximum: 15 pages) and
3. Written statement delineating their philosophy of teaching (maximum: 3 pages, 12 pt. font). Information regarding how to compose a quality teaching philosophy statement can be found online at http://lib.utsa.edu/services/faculty/teaching-learning-services/teaching-... (click on Teaching Philosophy Development).
2) Each college will identify their nominees and email their names to Dr. Nancy Martin.
Phase II: The UTSA Award Selection Committee will determine the University's cohort of nominees. These 14 UTSA candidates will develop a full e-portfolio that will be submitted for consideration at the U.T. System level. Additional detailed information including UT System selection criteria and e-portofolio requirements are available at http://www.utsystem.edu/offices/academic-affairs/regents-outstanding-teac...
If the need for further information should arise, please consult the Faculty Awards web site at www.utsa.edu/facultyawards<http://www.utsa.edu/facultyawards> (click on Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards) or contact Dr. Nancy Martin (nancy.martin(a)utsa.edu<mailto:nancy.martin@utsa.edu>; X 5191).
Again, if you are interested in applying for these awards, complete nomination packets should be submitted to Liliana Gutierrez (liliana.gutierrez(a)utsa.edu<mailto:liliana.gutierrez@utsa.edu>) in the COEHD-Office of the Dean, by Tuesday, December 1, 2015.

We're brought up to believe our teachers are modern-day saints. Just look at how we portray them in the movies and on TV. From Dead Poets Society's iconic Mr. Keating to resourceful LouAnne Johnson in Dangerous Minds, we reinforce time and again that teaching is a noble calling. These teachers are heroes, we're told. It's hard to imagine them even thinking about money.
