The Luis Glaser Mentorship Award recognizes a member of the faculty who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to mentoring students. Exceptional mentoring can include offering advice, feedback, guidance, or coaching; providing professional opportunities for mentees; or assisting in the development of life skills.
The Excellence in Experiential Teaching Award recognizes a member of the faculty who demonstrates an outstanding commitment to the student learning process, integrating excellent teaching with opportunities for experiential learning through curricular and co-curricular activities, and actively promoting and guiding learning outside of the classroom. Nominees should excel at developing students’ “practical intelligence.”
The Excellence in Clinical Teaching Award recognizes a member of the faculty who has made significant contributions to the development of future health professionals by demonstrating an outstanding commitment to effective, exemplary, and innovative instruction in a clinical setting and serving as a role model clinician to trainees through their exceptional empathy, professionalism, and clinical skills. Nominees should excel at implementing innovative approaches to teaching, including the use of technology, experiential teaching methods, or other creative approaches to curriculum design.
The Collaborative Teaching Award recognizes a team of faculty from different departments who are collaborating to provide unique courses and learning experiences that transcend individual disciplines. Such experiences provide students with multiple perspectives and ways of thinking that can lead to deeper understanding, creative problem-solving, and innovation.
The Discussion-Based Learning Award recognizes a member of the faculty who has created engaging educational experiences that leverage dialogue and discussion-based techniques, such as the Harkness Method, flipped learning, and problem-based learning. These methods enrich the learning experience and prepare students to address complex problems through dialogue and collaboration.
The Innovation in Teaching Award recognizes a member of the faculty who has overcome a difficult course-related problem with a novel and enduring approach (novel meaning that it is new to the University of Miami or new to a discipline). The innovation may be made through technology or involve adopting a new teaching format, a novel engagement with content, the creation of new learning activities, or engagement with external entities. There should be evidence that the innovation made a demonstrable difference in learning outcomes.
The annual Provost’s Teaching Awards signal the University of Miami’s commitment to exemplary teaching as its first pillar. To complement the Faculty Senate Teaching award that honors a distinguished record of teaching, the Provost's Teaching Awards are designed to recognize outstanding faculty teaching within an academic year. Teaching award categories are reviewed and revised annually to maintain relevance in celebrating teaching excellence. Faculty are encouraged to compete globally for teaching awards through their professional organizations and other outlets.
