Four East Central University professors were awarded with the prestigious Teaching Excellence Award during the Evening of Faculty Recognition late last spring.
The 2011-12 winners were Dr. Michael Bay, professor of Biology; Dr. Marc Klippenstine, assistant professor of Psychology; Dr. Shirley Mixon, professor of Business and 成人B站鈥檚 Director of the Oklahoma Reach Higher Program; and Dr. Regina Robertson, professor of Human Resources.
To be eligible for the awards, a professor must be nominated and then prepare a portfolio to be reviewed by the Teaching Excellence Committee. Nominees are rated on nine different criteria, including teaching evaluations and supporting letters from current and former students.
The recipients receive a plaque and a $500 prize.
鈥淩eading letters from former students is touching because you can really see that educators have the ability to transform students鈥� lives,鈥� said Teaching Excellence Committee Chair Dr. Christine Pappas. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a joy to serve on this committee because the members get to see all of the excellent work being accomplished by the 成人B站 faculty. The hardest thing is selecting the winners.鈥�
This fall Teaching Excellence Award winners will present a panel discussion to share their best practices of teaching on the 成人B站 campus.
