The CASE faculty innovative teaching award is meant to be distinct from other campus-wide teaching awards, thus Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) scores are not a criterion for consideration. Instead, we wish to honor innovation in teaching from CASE full-time faculty, instructors and adjuncts. This innovation may take the form of any teaching method used in a traditional course or outside the classroom. We want to recognize methods that are original in theory or implementation; where instructors have taken a risk in a course to test a novel approach that may, or may not, have worked out like they thought; where there is significant impact on student learning or engagement; or the potential to adopt the methods across disciplines or across colleges.

Who is eligible to be nominated?

All CASE affiliated full-time faculty, instructors, and adjuncts are eligible.

Previous applicants not selected for the award are encouraged to update their nomination materials and reapply.

Current members of the Faculty Leadership Council and faculty who have won this award in the past three years are not eligible. Past winners are listed below.
