There is no packet of forms to fill out in order to make nominations
for the 2007 Northeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America
(NES/MAA) Award for Distinguished
College or University
Teaching of Mathematics: you create
the nomination packet with various letters written by those familiar with the
candidate's teaching/research/publications.
The eligibility and nomination requirements as well as some hyperlinks
to help you in creating the nomination packet are listed below.
The eligibility requirements are
- college
or university teachers who currently teach a mathematical science at
least half-time during the academic year in a public or private college
or university in the United States or Canada (those on approved leave
(sabbatical or other) during the academic year in which they are
nominated qualify if they fulfilled the requirements in the previous
year),
- at
least five years experience in teaching a mathematical science, and
- has
membership in the Mathematical Association of America and is teaching in
the Northeastern Section,
and the nomination requirements,
- widely
recognized as extraordinarily successful in his/her teaching,
- has
teaching effectiveness that can be documented,
- has
influence in teaching beyond his/her own institution, and
- fosters curiosity and generates excitement about mathematics
in students.
Nominations for the 2007 NES/MAA Award for Distinguished College
of University Teaching of Mathematics are due by January 15, 2007,
and the winner of the Section's award for distinguished teaching is then
nominated for the Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College
or University Teaching of Mathematics.
General information for the distinguished teaching as well as a list
of past recipients of the award can be found on the Sections Awards page of
the NES/MAA web site, http://fileserver.wheatonma.edu/tratliff/NES/teaching_award.html;
more detailed information about the Section award, eligibility, and

than five letters of recommendation of no more than one page each,
- two

- two
letters from colleagues one of whom could be the department chair, and
- one additional letter from anyone qualified to
comment on extraordinary teaching success.
In addition to these letters, the nomination should
include a narrative describing the nominee's background, experience, teaching
style, special contributions, other teaching awards, evidence of
unusual/extraordinary achievement/success in teaching; this narrative should
be no more than five double spaced pages.
Additional documentation on the nominee's teaching success including
but not limited to summaries of peer or student teaching evaluations,
comments on teaching, possible increases in the number of undergraduate/graduate
degrees in mathematics directly related to the nominee, and student successes
in mathematics competitions may be included on no more than three additional
pages.
The Nomination Form, http://www.maa.org/Awards/Haimo_NF.pdf
contains a note that states that "if the nomination packet significantly
exceeds the prescribed limits" then "it will not be eligible for
consideration for a national award."
Since the nomination packet for the Section award will be forwarded to
MAA for consideration for the National award, it is important to consider
this caution and not exceed "the prescribed limits."
Once you have compiled the information and letters for the
nomination packet, please send the completed packet to Sarah Mabrouk at Framingham State College before the January
15, 2007 deadline. Once you
have mailed the packet to
