Rowman & Littlefield Award in Innovative Teaching
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rowman & Littlefield Award in Innovative Teaching is the only national teaching award in political science given in the United States.[1] It has been awarded annually by the American Political Science Association[2] and was first awarded in 1996.[3]
The award is sponsored by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. It carries a 500 USD cash stipend and is presented at the APSA's Annual Meeting to a winner selected from political science professors nominated by members of the award committee, chaired by L. Sandy Maisel, Professor of Government and Director of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.[3]
According to the Association, the Award recognizes developers of "effective new approaches to teaching" among political scientists. Its intent is to honor a wide range of new directions, rather than one in particular. The annual winner is chosen from among a pool of nominees whose innovations had moved political science pedagogy forward.[2]
