Nominees who meet the award criteria will be selected from the initial open nomination round and contacted by Teaching and Learning in late January each year. If selected, you will be asked to submit a teaching portfolio and you will be supported by a member of Teaching and Learning throughout the process of creating and submitting the portfolio in early March.
Students can only receive an award at any of the degree levels once (i.e., undergraduate, masters, doctoral).
The selected nominees will create a brief teaching dossier (max 15 pages, not including the title page and the nomination form) that highlights what the nominee is doing in their teaching activities and includes reflective narrative that highlights their contributions to student learning and creating belonging amongst students. A teaching dossier combines approaches, activities, and impacts to highlight the nominee’s effectiveness and excellence in a teaching role at Laurier. The final submission will include a personal statement on teaching, a description of teaching responsibilities, and 3 letters of support. Taken as a whole, the teaching dossier prepared by the nominee should demonstrate the evolution of the nominee’s teaching practice in response to experience, reflection and professional development.
Dossier guidelines and requirements will be sent to those selected after the initial nomination process in November. Teaching Dossier submissions from the selected finalists will be due in early March.
