Apologies for cross-postings... On behalf of Kirsty Spence, Chair OBTS NEA
Selection Committee...
Dear Colleagues,
Please see information below about the 2011 OBTS New Educator Award
nomination process and criteria for selection. Nominations are officially
open for the 2011 New Educator Award. Please carefully consider the
criteria for this special award and nominate someone you know who fits the
�letter and spirit� of what the NEA is all about!
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of the OBTS New Educator Award is to
recognize a person who has shown early promise to make a difference in the
field of management education. They are the new voices who promise to
bring new ways of thinking about and practicing management education.
Criteria for Selection: To be eligible, nominees are to be at an early
stage of their teaching careers. This includes a recent Ph.D. (within the
past 5 years) who takes a full time, tenure track position following
completion of their degree, or a Ph.D. who spends several years in a
non-academic position, has very limited or no adjunct teaching experience
during that time, and then (within the past 5 years) takes a full time,
tenure track position. The New Educator Award recognizes an early-career
person who is an exceptional classroom instructor and educational
innovator and who has shown cutting-edge promise and creativity in his or
her teaching, conference presentations, or publishing in the area of
management education.
Requirements: Official nomination of individual by oneself or others is
required. Once formally nominated, the initial application is to document
commitment and contributions to teaching and learning. Materials should
include:
1. a personal statement of teaching philosophy (2-5 pages);
2. an up-to-date CV;
3. several course syllabi that reflect teaching philosophy in action;
4. sample feedback materials (peer reviews, student evaluations,
or other documentation) on teaching commitment and effectiveness; and,
5. a writing sample, such as an article or chapter on aspects of
pedagogy, is desirable but optional, as is involvement in other
professional or service activities that focus on teaching.
Deadlines associated with the NEA: Nominations are being sent to Kirsty
Spence (
kspence@brocku.ca), Chair of the NEA Selection Committee by
Thursday, January 20, 2011, The nominee�s application package is due (also
to Kirsty Spence,
kspence@brocku.ca) by Friday, February 18, 2011. The
deadlines are set up such that the winner may have ample time to prepare
to attend OBTC 2011 at Marquette University in Milwaukee. As Chair, Kirsty
will be glad to discuss with anyone a potential nominee or answer any
questions you may have about this award.
Reviewers on the Selection Committee for the OBTS New Educator Award seek
to receive from the nominee a focused, succinct presentation of
self-as-educator. Reviewers do not seek volumes of material; rather, the
file should speak to the candidate's merits and teaching strengths in a
focused manner. Finalists may be requested to submit a more complete
teaching portfolio as needed.
The Society: The OBTS Teaching Society for Management Educators is the
oldest international professional organization dedicated to teaching and
learning excellence in the organizational and management sciences. Society
members are faculty at universities and colleges throughout the world, as
well as business educators and management consultants. Through our annual
teaching conference, regional professional development activities,
strategic alliances, and publications (including the peer-reviewed Journal
of Management Education), OBTS continuously strives to be a premiere
provider of critical resources that impact the quality and future of
management education.
Many thanks,
Kirsty Spence
