Distinguished Educator in Teaching as Scholarship:

In recognition of Creighton's long history in the advancement of teaching that has led us from good to reflective teaching, from Ernest Boyer's Teaching as Scholarship to Lee Shulman's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, we celebrate our Jesuit pedagogical and campus traditions, through creation of the Creighton University Distinguished Educator in Teaching as Scholarship Award. While Creighton has various teaching awards across campus, this all-University award recognizes excellence based on "evidence of effective teaching."

First created in 2013, this University teaching award allows Creighton to model best practices in scholarly teaching, clearly communicate the valuing of teaching as our core enterprise, and advance our efforts to be more competitive in state and national teaching award programs. The Faculty & Staff Award Ceremony will recognize the recipient(s) of this award. Rooted in our Carnegie campus conversations of the 1990s and our more recent Scholarship of Teaching and Learning initiatives, this award mirrors current and best practices in evaluating teaching as a scholarly endeavor. Annually, up to two recipients will be chosen for the award. The recipients of the award must: hold a full-time faculty appointment at the university; be at least at the rank of Associate Professor; and show a consistent commitment to the teaching mission and objectives of the University and one's primary appointed department. Eligible faculty should be nominated and submit a personal statement as well as their contributions to teaching and evidence of a body of work as an educator-scholar.  The Faculty & Staff Award Ceremony will recognize the recipient(s) of this award.
