Nominations open for UGA teaching awards

Creative Teaching Awards

The Creative Teaching Awards recognize faculty members who have implemented in a course a significant, creative teaching innovation and/or strategy to improve student learning. These awards are presented annually by the Office of Instruction to encourage both instructional excellence and the dissemination of best practices by sharing promising innovations with faculty more broadly.

For 2023-24, the competition will give priority to creative innovations in two domains:

  • Promoting active learning across the curriculum
  • Improving student writing and communication skills

Eligibility:

  • Must be a full-time faculty member, including tenured, tenure-track, clinical, or non-tenure-track faculty
  • The creative teaching innovation and/or strategy was implemented during the previous academic year
