Nominations now open for all TATP Teaching Excellence Awards
The University of Toronto acknowledges the work of teaching assistants and the contributions they make to teaching and learning at this institution in a number of ways, including the following awards. The Teaching Assistants’ Training Program’s (TATP) Teaching Excellence Award was created in 2003 to recognize the outstanding contributions of teaching assistants at the University of Toronto. The award seeks to value the work of TAs who regularly inspire and challenge undergraduate students. In 2015, the TATP launched the first-ever TATP award specifically for graduate student course instructors! This award recognizes one graduate student whose outstanding work as a sole-responsibility course instructor shows evidence of educational leadership, meaningful contributions to course and curriculum development, and impact on student learning.
Students and instructors can nominate a TA for the TA Teaching Excellence Award using the Student Nomination Form and/or Faculty Nomination Form. Nominations close on February 14.
