CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF PERSONS FOR THE LYLE E. GIBSON—

DOMINGUEZ HILLS DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD

The criteria for selection of persons for the Lyle E. Gibson-Dominguez Hills Distinguished Teacher Award are to be effective with the beginning of the Fall Quarter of 1978.

Dominguez Hills Distinguished Teachers are judged to be persons who know their subject thoroughly, who manifest in their teaching an understanding of broad areas of knowledge, and who demonstrate an ability to select, organize, and interpret with discernment the materials relevant to the courses they teach.  They are recognized for their ability to communicate the materials of their courses effectively, for their active interest in the progress of students as individuals, and for qualities which lead them to search continually for new and creative ways to present materials and to generate intellectual enthusiasm among students.

The Faculty Leaves and Honors Committee is responsible for establishing and implementing procedures for the nomination and selection of persons for the award.  The Committee will look for concrete evidence of teaching achievement, such as in supporting letters from colleagues and students, Perceived Teaching Evaluation forms, and course materials.
