Announcing the McGraw-Hill and The Teaching Professor Scholarly Work on Teaching and Learning Award

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, faculty have been sharing their experience, expertise, insight, and understanding of the classroom. Generally, they have done so without reward or recognition. Now, there's an opportunity to showcase this valuable and viable form of scholarship.

Magna Publications is pleased to announce that McGraw-Hill has joined The Teaching Professor to create an award for scholarly work on teaching and learning. The first award will be given at the 2009 Teaching Professor Conference, May 5-7 inWashington, D.C. http://www.teachingprofessor.com/award

A way to get your scholarly writing recognized

The award will recognize an outstanding piece of scholarly writing on teaching and learning with a $1,000 stipend provided by McGraw-Hill. To be considered, an article must be at least 1,500 words and must have been published after 2006 in discipline-specific, a cross-disciplinary pedagogical periodical, or a more general higher education publication. The article may address any topic related to college-level teaching and learning. Preference will not be given to a particular kind of scholarship. It may be a research report (quantitative or qualitative), a piece that describes development and/or implementation of a new teaching strategy or assignment, an article that offers advice based on research or experience or both, or an inspirational essay or article that takes a position with respect to an aspect of instruction or a teaching-learning issue. Articles may be nominated by readers or authors.

Have your article reviewed by those familiar with pedagogical literature

A panel of experts-including authors, editors, and faculty familiar with the pedagogical literature-will review submissions and select the article with the greatest potential to impact instructional practice. Other criteria will also be used in a blind review process. Articles will be posted at this Web address: http://www.teachingprofessor.com/award.

We hope to be able to widely disseminate the winning article at future Teaching Professor conferences and at other conferences. We also hope that the author (or authors, if the article has multiple) will be able to participate in some discussion of the work, both online and at the conference.

Let your work educate, engage, and inspire others

The reward and recognition of teaching has been an issue for years. We are delighted that we can make a small but significant contribution to remedy that omission. We invite your participation. For deadlines and submission details visit The Teaching Professor website (http://www.teachingprofessor.com/award). Keep your eyes open for good articles, and submit any and all for this award consideration.
