AMS 2009 Teacher Awards

Introduction

Academy of Marketing Science 2009 Outstanding Marketing Teacher Awards Nominations; Deadline 21 Nov 2008

Program Overview

The Academy of Marketing Science is dedicated to enhancing the professionalism of its members and the discipline of marketing as a whole. The AMS Outstanding Marketing Teacher program was initiated in 1999 to recognize and reward excellence in teaching and to provide a forum for outstanding teachers to share their classroom success with colleagues. The award program is sponsored by South-Western Publishing/Lamb-Hair-McDaniel.

Nomination Process

The program is open to all members of the Academy in good standing who have not received this award within the last ten years. Members may self-nominate or nominate other AMS members to vie for this distinguished award. To be considered, the Chair of the Selection Committee must receive all nominations no later than November 21, 2008. The nomination should consist of an email to the Chair that includes complete contact information for the nominee.

Submission Process

Nominees who wish to be reviewed for consideration for an AMS Outstanding Marketing Teacher Award must submit the following items electronically by email attachment to the Chair of the Selection Committee no later than December 12, 2008:

  1. A statement of teaching philosophy (limited to one page).
  2. A condensed curriculum vita (limited to two pages).
  3. One or two current course syllabi.
  4. Two letters of support from academic colleagues (please solicit these and send them along with the other submission items).
  5. One letter of support from a candidate’s department head, dean or equivalent (please solicit this and send it along with the other submission items).
  6. Supporting evidence of teaching excellence (limited to four pages).
Evidence of outstanding teaching may include descriptions of teaching techniques, examples of creativity in the classroom, evidence of student learning and achievement, application of technology in the teaching environment, student evaluations of teaching performance, and letters of support from present or former students. However, nominees may submit any material (subject to the specified page limits) that they feel provides evidence of outstanding teaching. Long-term contributions to marketing education and teaching innovations that are transportable to other instructional settings or institutions will be weighed more heavily than other evidence of outstanding performance.

Nominees not selected as AMS Outstanding Marketing Teachers who wish to be considered the following year may re-use letters of support from academic colleagues one time in the year following the year in which the letter was originally written.

Review Process

A committee will review all application materials and select up to three individuals to honor at the AMS Annual Conference held May 20-23, 2009 at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront in Baltimore, Maryland. The committee will forward the names of those selected to the AMS Executive Committee for a vote to approve those selected. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of the review process by February 13, 2009.

Recognition

Recipients of the AMS Outstanding Marketing Teacher designation must agree to attend the 2009 AMS Annual Conference. They will:

  1. Receive a framed certificate and official recognition at the AMS annual awards luncheon.
  2. Make a 10-15 minute presentation on teaching philosophy or pedagogy in a special session at the conference along with the other award winners.
