Distinguished Teaching Awards

The Distinguished Teaching Award is presented annually by the Academic Senate and the Teaching and Learning Center. The goal of the Distinguished Teaching Award is to increase awareness of UCLA’s leadership in teaching and public service by honoring individuals who bring respect and admiration to teaching at UCLA. By recognizing teachers for their achievements, the award gives UCLA an opportunity to demonstrate to the community, alumni, students, parents, donors, and others what makes UCLA “a beacon of excellence in higher education.” These awards are an effective way to boost morale on campus, provide role models for faculty and students, and highlight best practices.

History

Administration of the award selection process was previously managed by the Academic Senate and awardees were selected by the Committee on Teaching (COT). With the sunsetting of the COT in Spring 2022, the the administration of the Distinguished Teaching Awards was moved to the Teaching and Learning Center (formerly Center for the Advancement of Teaching). A new Distinguished Teaching Awards Selection Committee was established to review nominated dossiers and to select the recipients.

Senate Members

The UCLA Alumni Association first presented the Distinguished Teaching Awards in 1961 to Academic Senate members. Traditionally, five teaching awards were presented to Senate members by the Alumni Association. One of these five Senate winners is cited for Distinction in Teaching at the Graduate Level and another is designated to receive the Eby Award for the Art of Teaching.

In 2004, a sixth award for Distinction in Undergraduate Research Mentorship was implemented to honor an Academic Senate faculty member who has provided superb mentorship to undergraduate students engaged in research and/or creative, scholarly projects. The new award was recommended by the Joint Taskforce on Undergraduate Education in a Research Context.

Non-Senate Members

In spring of 1985, the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (formerly the Office of Instructional Development) sponsored three more awards given to instructors who are not Senate members. This category includes lecturers, adjunct professors, and clinical faculty members.

Teaching Assistants

In 1975, the Office of Instructional Development began sponsorship of awards to teaching assistants.

Award Categories

Because great teachers come from all academic ranks, we encourage you to nominate anyone who teaches graduate and/or undergraduate students and meets the program’s criteria.

There are three award categories:

  • Distinguished Teaching Award: Senate Faculty (6 Senate members)
  • Distinguished Teaching Award: Non-Senate Faculty (3 Non-Senate faculty)
  • Distinguished Teaching Assistant Award (5 Teaching Assistants)

Recipients receive a cash award and recognition by the Academic Senate. The Senate faculty and Non-Senate awardees receive $6,000, and teaching assistant recipients receive $2,500. A $20,000 Dissertation Year Fellowship Award from the UCLA Graduate Division will also be given to teaching assistants who are eligible. In addition, awardees are honored at the annual Andrea L. Rich Night to Honor Teaching ceremony at the Chancellor’s Residence.

Criteria

In evaluating “distinguished teaching,” the following factors are considered:

  • Impact on students (e.g., had a role in the eventual success of the students, helped change students’ majors or career plans, or significantly influenced students’ lives)
  • Efforts to create a learning environment in which diverse students can succeed
  • Scholarly approach to teaching (e.g., the use of innovative teaching methods in the classroom, programmatic innovations in curriculum, and the impact such innovations might have at the local or national level)
  • Size, number, and diversity of courses taught
  • Involvement in community outreach activities
  • Teaching ratings

Eligibility

A Department, Interdepartmental Degree Program (IDP), Center for Interdisciplinary Instruction (CII), or other Academic unit offering regular undergraduate, graduate, or professional instruction may submit no more than one nomination per category for this award. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Past recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award are ineligible again for the award in the same category.

Distinguished Teaching Award: Senate Faculty

Academic Senate members (members of the following series: Professor, Professor in Residence, and Professor of Clinical X, as well as Acting Professors, Acting Associate Professors, full-time Lecturers with Security of Employment, full-time Senior Lecturers with Security of Employment) at the time of nomination.

Distinguished Teaching Award: Non-Senate Faculty

Non-Senate Faculty (faculty in the Adjunct series, Clinical compensated series, Visiting Professors, Acting Assistant Professors, Lecturers, Academic Administrators) at the time of nomination.

Distinguished Teaching Assistant Award

Currently enrolled graduate students who have served or are serving in a teaching apprenticeship under the tutelage and supervision of regular faculty at the time of nomination and have at least one additional year of enrollment.

Selection Process

The Distinguished Teaching Award Selection Committee is responsible for the annual review and selection process of the Distinguished Teaching Award recipients. The committee reviews dossiers submitted for the three award categories and selects the awardees.

The membership is comprised of:

  • Nine at-large faculty members serving three-year staggered terms, such that three members rotate off each year
  • One graduate student
  • One undergraduate student
  • One ex-officio member from the Teaching and Learning Center

The committee meets four times a year, between January and May, to deliberate on the nominated dossiers for each award category.

Nominations for Senate Faculty open on Monday, January 8 and are due by 5:00pm on Friday, February 2, 2024
Nominations for Teaching Assistants open on Monday, February 5 and are due by 5:00pm on Friday, March 1, 2024
Nominations for Non-Senate Faculty open on Monday, March 4 and are due by 5:00pm on Monday, April 1, 2024

All nominations must be submitted online via the respective application form by the published deadline.

A Department, Interdepartmental Degree Program (IDP), Center for Interdisciplinary Instruction (CII), or other Academic unit offering regular undergraduate, graduate, or professional instruction may submit no more than one nomination per category for this award. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Past recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award are ineligible again for the award in the same category.

Requirements

Please note that the committee receives many applications. To ensure equity, we ask that nominators adhere to all of the requirements below, including letter writers adhering to length guidelines. Failure to do so may be grounds for the rejection of the application.

  • Upload ALL nomination materials as PDFs.
  • Except for the syllabi, please use 12-point font with 1-inch margins.

The application materials for each nomination must include:

1. A cover letter from the nominating academic unit

This letter must be signed by the department chair and is critical. This letter should contain information from the nominator that cannot be found anywhere else in the application. Joint nominations should include letters from each nominating unit and be combined into one PDF file. Each letter is limited to 1 page, 1-inch margin and 12 pt. single space font.

2. Curriculum vitae

Provide a concise presentation of the nominee’s education, teaching experience, other teaching awards, publications, service, and other significant contributions. Please include the nominee’s UCLA email address and personal and office phone numbers.

3. A list of courses the nominee has taught

Use the template available at the following link. Please include in the template all courses taught as well as evaluation scores if possible. If the nominee has taught for more than 5 years, please include the most recent 5 years. Do not append individual evaluation forms.

4. A teaching statement. Each nominee must write a brief statement of teaching describing contributions made as a teacher.
