The Innovation in Teaching Award recognizes innovative teaching and learning strategies and assessment methods and provides an opportunity to engage faculty in a process of documenting their scholarly approach to teaching and learning. One recipient (individual or team) will be selected and provided an opportunity to present their work during a session at the AACP Annual Meeting in July of each year. The faculty/team selected to present their innovation will be provided with complimentary registration to the Annual Meeting.
The Council of Faculties invites applications from active and affiliate individual AACP members in the form of course or learning portfolios describing innovative approaches to the teaching/learning or assessment processes in a course, a component of a course, or continuing professional education, residency or preceptor education, or faculty development. The innovation submitted must be in place and operating as part of the college or school professional curriculum or continuing professional education program, residency or preceptor education or faculty development. Winners and co-authors selected in the past three years ineligible to compete.
