Distinguished Teaching Award

5X社区 at Tuscarawas announces the Distinguished Teaching Award winners at the annual Spring Awards Ceremony. Nominations are accepted each spring.

Initiated in 1979 by the Tuscarawas County University Foundation, the awards emphasize the importance placed on excellence in instruction at Kent State Tuscarawas. Students, alumni, faculty and administrators had the opportunity to nominate one full-time and one part-time faculty member for the awards.

For purposes of the award, a "distinguished teacher" is defined as one who possesses a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, organizes and presents the subject matter effectively, stimulates thinking, develops understanding, demonstrates resourcefulness and arouses interest.
