About the Award
The University of Saskatchewan recognizes the importance of teaching in the professional lives of its faculty, and wants to recognize faculty early in their careers who devote themselves to teaching and show outstanding promise as teachers. The Outstanding New Teacher Award annually recognizes an outstanding new teacher.
The recipient will receive an award of $2,000 to be used to support a project or scholarship in teaching and learning.
