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@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
