Francis P. Hunkins Award

Each year our organization recognizes excellence in scholarship by submitting nominations for the Hunkins Distinguished Article Award.  All members of AATC are encouraged to nominate articles from the current volume of Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue based on the following criteria:

  • Contribution to the field of curriculum or teaching

  • Promotion of dialogue

  • Implications for improving educational practice

  • Cogency

We will give up to two awards, one in teaching and one in curriculum.  The awardees will be recognized at the AATC annual conference.

Nominations are due by March 20 to CTD‘s Associate Editor Crystal Howell chowell@randolphcollege.edu.

Thank you in advance for your support of AATC and Curriculum and Teaching Dialogue.
