Developing teaching award nominations is an important way to ensure that excellent teaching gets the recognition it deserves. But it’s also an intensive professional development opportunity for the faculty members and nominating team involved, crystallizing a narrative of teaching identity that can act as a transformative catalyst through which exceptional teachers re-envision their roles and spheres of influence within the Academy. It's a process of discernment that gets at the true value of teaching, at the individual and the institutional level. In Canada, teaching awards are available at three levels: local, provincial, and national.
