KAMLOOPS – The TRU Master Teacher Award was re-created this year, and was conferred at TRU’s Convocation Ceremony June 9th, on the campus commons.
The award, last conferred when the university was Cariboo College, recognizes long-term career achievements in teaching, pedagogy and the promotion of teaching and learning. A Master Teacher is expected to be a teacher/scholar who is not only a gifted teacher, but also someone who has contributed significantly to their chosen discipline and the ways it is taught and to have shown leadership in service to the educational activities of the university.
One Master Teacher Award will be conferred each academic year. This year’s award-winner will be announced at tomorrow’s ceremony.
“The instructor who will receive this prestigious award this year has contributed in so many ways to her students, her colleagues, her discipline and her community, locally and internationally,” said TRU’s Provost and Vice-President, Academic, Mark Evered.
“She has been a dedicated mentor and role model not only for students but also for faculty at Thompson Rivers University, and has throughout her teaching career been committed to making a difference in the quality of student and faculty experiences,” he added.
