Criteria

Nominees will reflect the diversity of academic disciplines, knowledge bases, scholarship, and research found in urban, doctorate-granting institutions of higher education. Diverse types of student assessment are utilized to meet the diverse needs of students. Candidates should regularly use collaborative learning strategies such as portfolios, case studies, field work, charts, graphs, videos, journals, literary narratives, performance arts, scientific exercises, or teaching strategies and practices to empower learning styles of students from different global perspectives, language constructions, and disabilities. The award recognizes multicultural education and teaching, distinct from international education and teaching, and supports active and reflective learning, inclusion, diversity, and cultural pluralism, while recognizing that no one multicultural model exists.  Self-nomination is not allowed and all previous Multicultural Teaching Award recipients are ineligible.
