Read the accompanying guidelines carefully, then submit/edit your abstract. Closing date for abstract submission is 12 midnight Friday, May 3rd, 2013. USU has many, many highly accomplished educators. The Faculty Senate Education Committee will look beyond the basic qualities of a good educator, to reward those extra special teachers who have a great impact on the education of our students through the use of innovative materials and/or methods. There are two awards given each year. Candidates whose abstracts are pre-selected by the Education Day planning committee will present their Innovative Teaching Method Abstract to all Education Day participants. All participants at Education Day will vote electronically to select the Best Innovation. Please note: these are not lifetime achievement awards for outstanding teaching; instead, these awards are meant to honor USU educators for their development of innovative teaching method(s) or their innovative use of existing teaching method(s). Requirements and Procedures:
3. In the late morning of Education Day, candidates will present their Educational Innovation in 10 minute slots to all Education Day participants. At the conclusion of all presentations, the audience will be polled by audience reponse "clickers" to rank the candidates. The top two Innovations will be honored on Education Day.
