Award For
Innovation in Teaching
ACIFA annually presents an Innovation in Teaching Award. Faculty Associations are notified early in the fall about the upcoming year’s award and are provided with an outline about the award system and how the award is administered.
The award is managed according to a system launched in 2002, as follows:
- Each local faculty association will hold a nomination and selection process at their institution for the Innovation in Teaching Award and select a single winner to be put forward by the Association to ACIFA.
- Selection at the local level must be completed by February 26th so the next step can be completed by mid-March.
- A committee struck from the Professional Affairs Committee of ACIFA then considers the nominations put forward by the local associations to select a provincial winner and three runners-up.
- The recipient receives an award of $1500 and their association receives $500.
To facilitate this process, the help of each faculty association is required to establish a promotion, nomination and selection process at their local level in order to give their faculty the opportunity to participate in this award.
Please see the application information form on the ACIFA Award for Innovation in Teaching which provides the complete details about the Award.
