The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence recently announced the 2010-2011 Distinguished Teaching Scholars.
The Distinguished Teaching Scholars program is designed to honor faculty who are Emory’s leading teachers and create university-wide conversation about pedagogy.
Nominees demonstrate pedagogical leadership at all levels of their field, a long-term commitment to creating and maintaining a dynamic classroom environment at Emory, and a record of engaging students in individual and group situations.
This year's Distinguished Teaching Scholars are:
• Sheila Cavanagh, Emory College of Arts and Sciences
• Clifton Green, Goizueta Business School
• Hans Grossniklaus, School of Medicine
• Marcia Holstad, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing
• Steve Kraftchick, Candler School of Theology
• Kay Levine, School of Law
• Florian Pohl, Oxford College
• Robert Stephenson, Rollins School of Public Health
As intellectual leaders on pedagogy in their individual units, the scholars work with the CFDE to nurture initiatives on teaching, and participate in monthly
“Teaching Tables” to discuss and share best pedagogical practices.
The program provides a discretionary professional development account for one year, used to support teaching and research activities.
