The AAG Distinguished Teaching Honors Award recognizes exceptional Geography teachers who have demonstrated a sustained track record of innovative, creative, and effective ways to convey geographical concepts and topics to their students (at any degree level). It may also recognize candidates who have developed new curricula, certifications, or degree-paths. Candidate impact is measured in the sustained quality of their courses over time, whether their students continue pursuing the discipline (majors, alumni career paths, etc.), and teaching and mentoring style. Nomination dossiers must have at least 3 and not more than 5 letters of support documenting the nominee's contributions to and impact on geography in the specific Honors category for which they are being nominated, and must also include the candidate's CV. Efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the discipline need to be addressed in the nomination letters. Self-nominations are allowed, but must include the required letters of support. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Association of Geographers for more information.
