The Beveridge Family Teaching Prize (K-12)
Established in 1995, this prize honors the Beveridge family’s longstanding commitment to the AHA and K-12 teaching. Friends and family members endowed this award to recognize excellence and innovation in elementary, middle school, and secondary history teaching, including career contributions and specific initiatives. The prize will be awarded on a two-year cycle rotation: in even-numbered years, to an individual; in odd-numbered years, to a group.
The 2008 prize will
be awarded to an individual either for excellence in teaching or
for an innovative initiative applicable to an entire field.
The prize carries a $1500 cash award (plus travel expenses to the
annual meeting) and will be awarded at the annual meeting in January
2009 in New York.
Each letter of nomination must include the name and address of the nominated individual. After receipt of this nomination letter, this individual will be contacted and asked to submit the following electronically or by mail: vita (no more than 3 pages) of the individual, an essay of no more than five pages in length describing the contribution or product, discussing the achievement or innovation in approach, development, and impact and summarizing the historical scholarship utilized. Up to ten pages of appropriate supporting materials can be included (i.e. letters of support and course materials, excerpts from a text book, or other evidence of contribution).
